A true friend is a unique treasure br Divinely endowed, in good measure- br More precious than gold or pearls- br Valued throughout the passing years br Adding colour to life’s simple joys br Shared blissful-friendship rejoiced br br A friend is not self-centred br Not selfish, not self-minded br He minds to prosper his friend br Easily forgiving, ready to mend br A friend never stops believing in you br Stands by the pains you go through br A friend does not look down on you br Even when you board a boat br That’s takes a different route br br A friend is someone you can trust br Ready to counsel, yet is firm and just br He is real and has no shades br Gently puts the truth straight br Gently invites you to grow br Encouraging you to become more br Glad when you are your best br Always praying, eager to bless br br A friend keeps friendship warm br Sheltering you from life’s storm br Under a thick sincerity-blanket br Protecting you under a safe-net br Torching the path you tread br Be a candle in darkness, you dread br br For such a godly friend, would I live br To such a friend, my life, I would give.
