Friends

Friends are kind,
Friends are loving,
Friends are faithful and forgiving.

They never desert you,
Mistreat or abuse you,
They notice your good points forgetting your faults.

Forgetting in friendship,
Things unattractive. remaining steadfast,
Through trials irrespective.




" FOR A FRIEND LOVETH AT ALL TIMES."
                                                         Proverbs 17:17

(Co-wrote this with my daughter Sherry when she was about 13yrs. old.)
