Friends Are Blessings From God

What a blessing to have a friend,
I reflect on friendship through the years.

Miracles from God, I say,
Your relatives are your wonderful companions.

I always say friends care enough ,
To have conversation with you.

Listen to your hopes and dreams,
Care about your health and well-being.

Appreciate a poem you have written,
A song you have sung.

Maybe they  liked you enough ,
To climb a mountain with you.

Perhaps you went to school together,
You shared dreams of becoming more learned.

University, you strived to become educators,
You shared a love for learning.

A friend is someone who fills your day with a smile.
God Bless friends everywhere.

Congrats on this write, Gwen. I've lived a long, long life and have come to realize that friends, real friends, are indeed gifts. My conclusion is, if you have friends hold on to them, they're not easy to come by. Love, daver
