God Bless Those I Call Friend

I cherish my friends and I know that they care,
Good honest people who are not ashamed to bow their heads in prayer.
Most are a common lot, but would share their last slice of bread,
And would go to bed a little hungry them self to see a friend get fed.

Through thick and thin, through good and bad,
Through the happiest times, they are usually there you when you’re feeling sad.
They are special people God places in your path just for you to find,
He knows when we need a little help and they are there to help us ease our mind.

And they may leave as quickly as they entered in,
And that may have served only one purpose that you saw and that was simply just to be a 
friend.
Should I have ever called you friend, know those words were straight from my heart,
And those memories we made my friend, from me they will never part.

Friends are gifts from God and his hands and feet when we need a physical touch. You gave me smiles today, thanks Ron. Happy almost Easter.

There are so many people here on the Soup who have become friends in the past few months. All of your observations about the power, purpose and endurance of friendship are right on target, Ronald, and I like to consider you one of my friends. Thank for this inspirational message.
