A Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
                                that cannot be bought or sold
                                  for it`s value, is far greater than 
                                    a mountain made of gold.

                                      For gold is cold and lifeless
                                       it can neither see nor hear
                                         and in time of trouble
                                          tis powerless to cheer

                                            It has no ears to listen
                                             no heart to understand
                                               it cannot bring you comfort
                                                nor reach out a helping hand

                                                  So when you ask God for a gift
                                                    be thanKful if he sends, not
                                                      diamonds,pearls or riches
                                                        but the love of real true friends
