Poem
Dedicated to a dear friend for her friendship in Christ What does “friendship” mean to you? Some say, “Someone I can talk to” “A pal who keeps me company” “A buddy who hangs out with me” “Someone who shares the same hobbies” “One who helps in adversities” “One who cheers me up when I’m blue” Others say, “I don’t have a clue!” King Solomon had much to say In Proverbs about friends who’ll stay True in times of sunshine and rain And those who’ll leave you for their gain “A man of many companions May come to ruin and destruction But there’s a friend who sticks closer Than a brother or a sister” Companions are different from friends They will not stay true to the end They may serve as good company But leave you in adversity A friend’s love is constant and true In spring’s blossom and winter blue No matter what you’re going through She will never stop loving you Although her words may hurt at times She has your best interest in mind She tells the truth for your well being Even if words of truth may sting Her counsel to you is heartfelt The ice of endless sorrows melt With the warmth her words provide In sadness, she is by your side Although our friends are not perfect Their loyalty and love reflect The Source of friendship - Christ Jesus He’s the Friend who will not fail us Blessed are the wounds of a Friend One who was faithful to the end Who died so that we may be whole Who brought salvation to our soul In the fierce storm and rising tide Jesus is always by our side What a Friend we have in Jesus A Friend who will never fail us
