Friends are like medicine

That brings comfort to our day

Making merry our heart

As we pursue on our way.

Friends are a blessing

Leaving memories that lift

Like angels in the midst

Sharing down a joyful gift.

A friend’s bond soothes,

A spirit that is low or broken

By their loving kindness

Of their words fitly spoken.

Friends are someone special

Our imperfections they patiently bear

Always standing beside us

With helping hands, because they care.

Friends are like a ray of sunshine

That adds a glow to our heart

Wishing they were near, when far away

For the love their life does impart.

A true friend loveth at all times

Contemplating the good with the bad

Easy to be entreated with

Showing pity when the heart is sad.

To be without friends

Is like a cloudy day of gloom

Or like a beautiful flower

That has failed to fragrantly bloom.

We must show ourselves friendly

If we want to have the joy of friends

To have a friend is to be a friend

This precious treasure God lovingly lends.
