Friends |
Friends are never earned they’re a gift from the loving God |
And they’re precious beyond human evaluation |
But you dare not take them for granted or they’ll lift away like a smoke |
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights |
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won’t even rate an obituary |
Unless they live and die in a small town |
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens |
But a few of my friends are big people |
They’d made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court |
They’re famous sensitive talented and their names are household words |
And yet they’re no more precious in God’s eyes or in mine |
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns |
Who is your friend he’s someone who warms you with a nod |
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you’re hurting beyond words |
Who is your friend he’s someone who holds you to her breast |
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the |
pain |
A friend is someone who clings his glass against yours |
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you’re lost |
And with a few words of encouragement and concern |
Makes you realize that you’re not really lost at all |
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes |
The most imprtant thing they have in common is their ability |
To share with you your most sky splitting joys |
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they’re all your friends |
