Real Friends
by Gary C. Michael June 29, 2009

​

Real friends are those who love each other.
They can be spouses or even sister and brother.
They come from those met on the street.
Time spent together can be pretty neat.


When rebuked, friends don’t get upset.
Knowing that love is why they get what they get.
Real friends stick through thick and thin,
when they both are trying to overcome sin.


Friends don’t get jealous of each other.
They are out to help one another.
Real friends learn the meaning of trust.
In order to survive, this is a must.


Real friends don’t deceive and play games.
They don’t accuse and make false claims.
When real friends are needed, they will be right there,
as a symbol of the fact that they really do care.


Real friends don’t lead each other astray.
If they do, it’s not by design, I say.
Real friends don’t treat each other like dirt.
They don’t intentionally do things that hurt.


Real friends love for each other to be around,
in one or another’s home or running through town.
Oh what fun it can really be,
when Christian love is what we see.


Real friends are rare and hard to find,
because they need to be of the same mind.
God puts those together who don’t want to be corrupt,
and you can count on Satan to try to bust them up.​

This is nice and true. Did you write it yourself?

Yes, praise the Lord. I have many more where that came from.
