Our Friends Are God Sends

Some of us live and die,                                                                            
never leaving a trace or trail                                                                          
for others to follow.                                                                                       
At best, they have left                                                                                     a trail of tears, and any trace                                                                          of a model is shallow.

There are others who are exceptional                                                            and seem to be of a different breed. 
Pleasing God and loving people                                                                  
seem to permeate the very air they breathe.

I learn from them and being in their presence                                                                             is delightful and pure pleasure.                                                                         I have been blessed with a few of them,                                               
and I tell you, they are treasured.
