Why God Gave Us Friends

God knew that everyone needs companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone whose thoughts are always near.

He knew they needed someone kind to lend a helping hand,
someone to gladly take the time to care and understand.

God knew that we all need someone to share each happy day,
to be a source of courage when troubles come our way.

Someone to be true to us whether near or far apart,
someone whose love we'll always hold and treasure in our hearts.

That's why God gave us friends.
