1. Hug O' War
Famous Poem
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Preserving a friendship requires many skills. One of the most important of these is the ability to say I'm sorry. We all make mistakes. Hurting each other from time to time is inevitable, especially in a close friendship. Some people are incapable of apologizing, because they are unable to admit that they may have made a mistake. There is no way for a friendship to last without apologies. Saying I'm Sorry in a sincere and compassionate way will preserve your friendship and deepen the bond that you share.

I am sorry that I hurt you; you were my best friend.
I still can't believe that our friendship faced a tragic end.
I owe you an apology, and I guess this is the right time.
I met my best friend 44 years ago. We were married 4-15-1974. He passed away in 2015. He was the best friend I ever had. He may be gone in body, but he will always be in my heart. Sometimes I...

I'm sorry friend
I don't know what to do
I try so hard
to be a better person to you
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this poem. My friend and I got into a fight about a mean rumor about me, which caused me to say some pretty rude things to her. I instantly regretted it,...
today I passed you by
our shoulders almost touched
as your eyes diverted
I loved this poem. It encouraged me to value my past, present, and future friendships. I felt challenged to reconnect with my past relationships and to treasure those kindled memories.
No matter how much we fight,
I'll always be by your side.
We've been through too much
To let what we have slide.
I've had many fall-outs with my friends. I had one today. I will write her a poem and share this one with her as well.
Friends forever, you promised.
Never to part, you said.
But now we've fought,
Words were thrown between us...
My friend and I are fighting and I hate it. Actually, both are hurting. This poem and a few others led me to believe my friend thinks I blame them. This couldn't be further from the truth....
My life was changed, turned, and twisted
when I knew our friendship no longer existed.
I know I was wrong; I know I messed up,
and that's why I'm sitting here typing this up.
I know I messed up. I never wanted to give up. You were my best friend, the person who stood by me when I was in trouble. I should have done the same. This is insane. I said things I didn't...
I thought they were wrong,
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
But it's true.
I'm lost without you.
Once again I write to you
The sun is shining, the sky is blue
And all I do is sit and think...
Only about you, without a blink
I really enjoy this poem. My friend is a poem fanatic and she just adores them. I gave this to her, and she started thinking of how great our lives were before we separated. We got back...
To all my family and friends,
from whom I hear from
now and then,
Just wanted to say
This poem has really touched my heart with the remembrance of how friendship and family love is so important in the life of a human.
I have known a million people
But never like you
Many of my friends are special
But I still don't have a clue
This poem touches my heart, I feel as though this is the meaning of my life. #veryproudofmyfriends
