~~~True Friends~~~

Have you ever found a friend

Who makes your heart glow?

Someone who is wonderful,

Who you're honored to know,

Someone to laugh with,

And sometimes to cry,

Someone who loves you

When you don't know why

Someone who just seems

To understand you,

Someone who you love

No matter what they do,

Someone who you

Think of day and night,

Someone who shows up

When the time is just right.

Someone who shares all

Your ups and downs,

Someone you smile with,

Replacing your frowns,

Someone who appears

Whenever there is a need,

Surely you must know,

God planted that seed

These seeds God has

Planted here on earth

Cannot be measured

By earthly worth.

They were planted deeply

In your friend's heart,

By God's love placed

Here from the start.

Value those friendships,

Honor their decisions,

Never try to make their

Dreams your revisions.

Respect their feelings,

Never make demands,

Hold their love tightly

In your hands.

Never be angry if you

Don't talk to them each day,

For a heart can be loving

Even from far away.

Trust in friendship,

Send a piece of your heart,

This is how friendship

Was intended from the start.

Hold their memory

In your heart and mind,

Continue to love

Them all the time,

See them for what they really are -

True friends are Angels

Sent by God from afar!
