Friends
A Friend is one, who “know us”
– our guilt and our shame –
Regardless of our many sins
Friends love us just the same.
Years ago, I wrote those lines
trying to describe “Friends.”
Tell me: what is your version?
– “Your wisdom, never ends.”
“A Friend in need, is a friend, indeed”
– as the old “saying” goes –
Friendship is much more than that
– as anybody knows. –
We have all kinds, so many Friends
– hard to describe them, all.
Once in awhile, fair weather Friends
– are easy, to recall.
A Friend is a person: we like
they are Helpful, to me.
Sympathizer and Supporter
– they do it: all for free –
A Friend is one who “listens”
To my pitiful “tale”,
We may be very “boring”
Patient Friends, never fail.
We pick and choose Good Friends
And Hope: they choose us
You simply can’t beat a Good one
(they help us, with “our fuss”).
Good Friends don’t always “agree”
(keep kindness, in, your voice)
Contemplating the “issue”
Both may make: Better Choice.
If you really want a Good Friend
– the best friend, that I know
Is God, our ever Loving God
– He’ll go, wherever you go.
God is Loving and also Fair
(we know – very well)
If people were our Judges?
– we’d ALL, go to hell –
He’s known, as “Trinity God”
His Son died for you and me
Christ died, “arose” in three days
– we can live Eternally – .
The Holy Spirit is the third part
“Our Helper” – He is known
He’s lived at my house, many years
“Dependence on Him, I own.”
You can’t find a more Loving Friend
– than our Great God (in three)
Loving, Trustworthy and Kind
Best Friend, for You and Me!
