Family of Friends
Families walking in the halls
Searching for comfort within these walls
Many times we've heard things said
Discussing things so many dread
Children with an illness are here
Seeking comfort to calm their fear
Sometimes their treatments are very painful
For days that are easier, we are thankful
As time passes and each day goes by
We find ourselves asking "Why?"
We're not alone in this place we must stay
We can trust in our faith and begin to pray
Coming together as a "Family of Friends"
With a shoulder to cry on and an ear to bend
Strength in numbers may conquer some pain
Share our hearts when they begin to rain
Here for our children with hope for healing
Let's share the pain we are often feeling
Let's join together as a "Family of Friends"
Let's show our support and lend a hand
