Friendship

Dedicated to a dear friend for her friendship in Christ

What does “friendship” mean to you?
Some say, “Someone I can talk to”
“A pal who keeps me company”
“A buddy who hangs out with me”

“Someone who shares the same hobbies”
“One who helps in adversities”
“One who cheers me up when I’m blue”
Others say, “I don’t have a clue!”

King Solomon had much to say 
In Proverbs about friends who’ll stay
True in times of sunshine and rain
And those who’ll leave you for their gain

“A man of many companions
May come to ruin and destruction
But there’s a friend who sticks closer
Than a brother or a sister”

Companions are different from friends
They will not stay true to the end
They may serve as good company
But leave you in adversity

A friend’s love is constant and true
In spring’s blossom and winter blue
No matter what you’re going through
She will never stop loving you

Although her words may hurt at times
She has your best interest in mind
She tells the truth for your well being
Even if words of truth may sting

Her counsel to you is heartfelt
The ice of endless sorrows melt
With the warmth her words provide
In sadness, she is by your side

Although our friends are not perfect
Their loyalty and love reflect
The Source of friendship - Christ Jesus
He’s the Friend who will not fail us

Blessed are the wounds of a Friend
One who was faithful to the end
Who died so that we may be whole
Who brought salvation to our soul

In the fierce storm and rising tide
Jesus is always by our side
What a Friend we have in Jesus
A Friend who will never fail us
