Friends Are...

Friends Are…
 December 30, 2004


Friends are blessings in this life,
Treasures, gemstones, rare.
And if we’re wise we’ll cherish them.
As gifts beyond compare.
Friends are beacons in this life,
Lighting up the way.
With laughter, smiles, and teasing.
In bright or cloudy days.
Friends are comfort in this life,
Praying when it’s rough.
Helping you through thick and thin;
By you, when it’s tough.
Friends are “stickers” in this life,
Patient, Caring, Strong.
Revealing gently where we’ve failed,
And how we have been wrong.
Friends are Faithful if they’re true.
Lord, make me loyal, kind.
Lord, help me “stick” to all my friends
As you would stick to Thine.

“A man that hath friends must show himself friendly and there is a friend who sticketh closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24, KJV)
