Old and New

You have to tell an old friend
About the new things that you
Get

Because they understand the 
Struggles and all the
She-it

New friends are cool and they
Appreciate where you are

But they don’t know the distance
They don’t know if your success was
Near or far

Old friends see the come-up
Through prayers and believing

Some may call it luck
When you start receiving

Your hand is in the cookie
Jar

And all your cookies are soft 
And no longer hard
