Friendship

Friendship has so much meaning,

A friend you have can be for life.

A person whom you share laughter,

Who is there when you’re in strife.

A friend is of your own choosing,

To which you form a strong bond,

Knowing that they are so special,

That very one whom you’re so fond.

A person that you can relate to,

And you never feel ill are ease.

A person who will always listen,

Then give you a gentle squeeze.

Sometimes no words are spoken,

Just a look says how one cares,

No words of wisdom needed,

Just your presence of being there,

Jesus wants to be that friend to you.

One you can bring your troubles to.

He is a friend that you can turn to

At any time, whether day or night.

Ah yes, having a friend is special,

For how lonely your life would be,

So I say a heartfelt “Thank You”,

My friend you are so dear to me.
