LIFE'S FRIENDS


Great souls by instinct
To each other turn,
As side by side
Their lessons they learn.

One soul in two bodies
Describes a good Friend,
One who will need you
'Till God's angels descend.

Prosperity makes us lots of friends
Though adversity rids us of most.
What few we keep, we always love
Long after they are but ghost.

Out of the night, which covers us
It's easy to see where friends are made;
Among the stars, behind the moon
Where heaven begins its parade.

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

So true...those that can go through adversity with us are worth the keeps...even long after we separate..

Enjoyed

Tom,

Took me back into reflection a bit, but it was good reflection... So true it is that Good Friends are beyond placing a value. Enjoyed reading and God bless.
