A Genuine Friend

There is a love which lives deep within A genuine one which will never go away No matter how one might try to release it In our hearts and minds, we find it stays Whenever another touches our inner being While bringing their pleasant peace inside We find ourselves to become comfortable As we begin to embrace them in our lives They may become genuine friends who care They might become sisters and brothers too They brighten our lives each time they speak Changing gray skies to ones of crystal blue The hearts of these special ones we care for Are so genuine and selfless in every way They are in our lives for special reasons By God, making sunny cloudy and rainy days Whether you are a dear sister or brother Or the truest friend one in life may find You are a treasure to those who love you Because of the selfless heart in you they find.
