Friendship

Crying on your shoulder gives me release 
Helping me to gain my peace
Calling you when I am in trouble deep
You are always there supporting with passion 'steep'.

You are always giving a listening ear 
Even when you are too busy to share.
Hands outstretched always willing to help my every moment of fear.

Coming so often to rescue,
never getting tired of helping to unburden my cares,
Giving unsolicited advice only because of love so dear.

Can anyone find a friend so precious
A friend so rare as a diamond gem, 
one who will never neglect nor fail to be sincere
A friend to cherish, and treasure.

Who can find a friend so true, always objective, 
always truthful in love, only for one's protection
As a true companion, my friend.

Humm!!! I can stand corrected but sounds like Jesus is this best friend... For even mankind(which includes woman too) Jesus can provide the best friendship, next should be (is) our spouse. Lovely write thanks for sharing James :)
