Friends





	Friend is a word that I don't throw around
	Though it's used & abused, I still like the sound.
	I save it for people who've done right by me
	And I know I can count on, if ever need be.
	Some of my friends drive big limousines
	Own ranches & banks & visit with queens,
	And some of my friends are up to their neck
	In overdue notes & can't write a check.
	They're singers or ropers or writers of prose
	And others, God bless'em, can't blow their own nose!
	I guess bein' friends doesn't have anything to do
	With talent or money or knowin' who's who.
	It's a comfortable feelin' when you don't have to care,
	'Bout chosin' your words or bein' quite fair.
	'Cause friends'll just listen & let go on by
	Those words you don't mean & not bat an eye.
	It makes a friend happy to see your success.
	They're proud of your good side & forgive all the rest.
	And that ain't so easy, all of the time,
	Sometimes I get crazy & seem to go blind!
	Your friend just might have to take you on home,
	Or remind you sometime, that you're not alone.
	Or ever so gently pull you back to the ground,
	When you think you can fly, with no one around.
	A hug or a shake, whichever seems right
	It's the high point of givin', I'll tell ya tonite,
	All worldly riches & tributes of men,
	Can't hold a candle to the worth of a friend.

	~Why God Made Friends~
	God made the world with a heartful of love,
	Then He looked down from Heaven above,
	And saw that we all need a helping hand,
	Someone to share with, who'll understand.
	He made special people to see us through
	The glad times & the sad times, too;
	A person on whom we can always depend,
	Someone we can call a friend.
	God made friends so we'll carry a part
	Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

	A friend is someone who truly cares,
	A friend is someone who's always there,
	A friend will be there in times of woe,
	Talking, laughing, & sometimes letting go,
	Times alone we sometimes need,
	But coming back we will do indeed,
	There may be times we may not agree,
	For you are you & I am me,
	We may argue because of that fact,
	But our power of friendship will bring us back,
	Cause the love in our hearts we feel inside,
	Is not something we would ever hide,
	So come to me in times of need,
	Cause you my dear always have a friend in me.
