~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.
