Happy Valentine's Day To My Friends

    ~Cherished Friends~

God must have known
there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or to brush away a tear.

He must have known
we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think
He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.

He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.

He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish . . lasting . . true,
And so God answered
the heart's great need
With a CHERISHED FRIEND like you.
