A True Friend's Offer

A True Friend's Offer Take a seat and rest you weary soul on my stage matters not your great troubles or age Cast off those shadows that chase you down swim in my sea, I'll not let you drown! Award me the gifts of your anger and grief size means nothing I can still bring relief With words of faith and very good cheer laced with conviction, tis' nothing to fear! Load me up with scandals, falsely laid upon you I can easily conquer a dozen or two So wrap them up, stop your fearful liven' they will be well received, that is a given! Why not agree to do what I now so plead I have blessings ready, that you so greatly need Look at it as a new start, means to a good end for are we not equally kind and very good friends! Robert J. Lindley. 06-01-2014 Copyright © Robert Lindley | Year Posted 2014 Note-- True friendship is a treasure often far more valuable that rubies and gold! A blessed man is he that can say he truly has even just one great and true friend! Some are greatly blessed with more. Note- Edited, title change, several verses rewritten today, August 24th, 2016
