Fellowship, friendship, kindred hearts Companion, confidante Whatever noun you choose to use It's sure to be pleasant. But what is it that draw you near? What qualitise do you share? Friends can be most anything, But real friends are quite rare. True friends help you move ahead Respect your boundaries They're discreet with what you tell them and you can be at east. They should uplift and edify Encourage you with love They'd understand forgiveness And be gentle as a dove. They'd never mock your faith Or jest at who you are They would not turn their backs on you But be loyal in their honor. So who do you call friend? What are their qualities? Is their character that of good Or those of tainted schemes? And which of them stand out As faithful and serene? Which of them will tell the truth When you sway or lean? Your neighbor down the street The ones who all play cards Those you meet for fun and games Or those of high regard. Look for friends with courage, Whose humbled hearts are pure For they're the ones who will forgive And in all things endure. Seek out cheerful people Those with self-restraint Whose faith in God is strong and sure Whose morals are not faint. ____ _ | __\_\_o____/_| <[___\_\_-----<----------<sheriliegh@sprint.ca>< |
