Friendship Day is on 2nd August 2009




The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
When you feel down.




The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.




The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.




The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.


" Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends. "
- Mary Catherwood

" Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival. "
- C. S. Lewis

" Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success. "
- Oscar Wilde

Yellow Rose was chosen as the official flower for Friendship Day festival because it symbolizes joy, friendship, delight, promise of a new beginning, "remember me", and "I care". Florists say, a yellow rose with red tip stands for friendship and falling in love.
