Having Friends Who Truly Care For You

Having Friends Who Truly Care For You
Kevin Davis 2026

Having friends who truly care for you
Is one of life’s great gifts in all we do.
To know you can turn to, with open ears,
And share with them your joys and fears.

Some have had friends there since their birth,
Sisters and brothers who know their worth.
Others you meet along life’s way,
Who touch your heart and help you stay.

They walk beside you through highs and lows,
Through sudden storms and gentle snows.
They lift you up when hope feels thin,
And cheer the quiet strength within.

With laughter shared and tears that fall,
They answer when you need to call.
No perfect words, no grand display—
Just being there from day to day.

And though our paths may twist or bend,
Time cannot break a faithful friend.
For love once given, tried, and true,
Lives on in all that friends help you do.
