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
