~ What Do We
Want From A
Friend? ~
That is a
question we
often will
ask.
And, what do
we need from a
friend?
Loyalty, we
know that is
true.
But, is that
enough in the
end?
We know there
must be trust
So secrets we
can safely
share.
And, when we
are sad and
hurt
That someone
is there to
care.
We want a
friend to
feel our joy
When happiness
comes our way.
When we
complete a
difficult
chore.
It's a
cheering
friend that
"makes our
day".
We want to
know there
will be a hand
Held out to us
when trouble
brings on
fear.
When
everything in
life feels so
empty
We need to
feel their
spirit hover
near.
But, along
with all the
rest of these,
It must
include a
special kind
of love.
Hard to
explain, but,
one that you
know
Comes as a
blessing from
heaven above.
So, if you
have found a
special one
Who shares
these things
with you,
Make sure your
words are
always kind
And deeds are
helpful that
you do.
While
friendship
bonds may feel
strong
They are also
very fragile,
it is true.
A thoughtless
word,
an unkind
deed,
And a friends
heart can be
broken by you.
