Friendship is God-given,
A gift for you and me,
And if we use it wisely,
What a treasure it can be!
If we can speak to someone
Who needs a word of cheer
Or offer loving comfort
To someone far or near....
Then we follow in His footsteps
And find the welcome grace
That comes when with a gesture
We can easily erase....
Someone's care and sorrow
That unhappiness imparts,
And our lives will be much richer
When we freely give our hearts.
