Cherished FriendsGod must have known there would be timesWe'd need a word of cheerSomeone to praise a triumphOr brush away a tear.He must have known we'd need to shareThe joy of "little things"In order to appreciateThe happiness life brings.I think he knew our troubled heartsWould sometimes throb with painAt trials and misfortunesOr some goals we can't attain. He knew we'd need the comfort Of an understanding heartTo give us strength and courageTo make a fresh, new start. He knew we'd need companionshipUnselfish...lasting...true, And so God answered the heart's great needWith CHERISHED FRIENDS....like you..
