A True Friend

In this life you will find that

Friends come and go in time.

Who your friend was yesterday isn’t

Always the case today,

some will be nice as pie.

While stabbing you in the back from behind.

Others will give their heart just to see you smile.

Everyone spends a life time finding that one true friend.

The only true friend you are guaranteed in this life

Is the friendship of your father in the sky.

He will never forsake you or leave you alone.

He will catch your tears as they fall.

He will understand and never judge

His love and devotion is the ultimate gift.

The sooner you take his hand.

Is when you’ll find your only true friend.

I have to add that My heavenly father has provided me with some amazing friends and relationships I can depend on. There have been dissapointments and still with his help none have been insurmountable. Thanks for taking time to honor our Heavenly Father.
