Being a True Freind

Being A True Friend…

One who is closer than a brother
 is a real friend.
One who’ll be there for you 
till the very end!

One who both shares your joy 
and each trial…
One who’ll go, 
“the extra mile.”

When talking about you, he’ll 
speak words so good.
He won’t gossip or slander
 you as others would.

I great quality in this friend… 
 You will find.
He’ll be gracious to you.  
Loving and kind!

In you, he’ll look for what is the best…
He’ll still love you, 
and won’t settle for less!

This friend I speak of…
You may want to see!
His name is Jesus!. And your friend…  
He wants to be!
