Long Term Friends

Thankful for Jeff & Gloria and other dear friends.

I am thankful for long term friends,
The kind who rally round
in times of trouble,
Who don’t expect a return 
For their efforts or time,
Who give with a hug and a smile,
And give again,
Who cry when I cry,
And laugh with, not at me when I laugh,
Who make me want to give back in return 
In time of hurt and need.
For, together, we make the world 
A better place,
because We are friends.

Poetry Ode to a Friend

A  friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. —Proverbs 17:17

A friend is a friend
no matter how small,
For a friendship’s not based on
how little or tall.
The size of a friend
shouldn’t matter at all,
Only the size of the heart
that hears when you call.
For a friend that is there
when the other falls,
Is a friend who is truly
the greatest of all.

Lord Jesus, help me appreciate my friends and not to turn away when they need me. Amen
