Friendships of Gold

Source

 Friendship is a priceless gift

That cannot be bought or sold,

But its value is far greater

Than a mountain made of gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless,

It can neither see nor hear,

And in the time of trouble

It is powerless to cheer.

It has no ears to listen,

No heart to understand,

It cannot bring you comfort

Or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift

Be thankful if He sends

Not diamonds,pearls or riches,

But the love of real true friends

Someone needs your smile today

Your hug, your listening ear:

Someone needs encouragement

And gentle words of cheer.

Someone needs your helping hand,

A letter - or what's more,

Someone needs your cheerfulness

To make their spirits soar.

Someone needs affection

When they are feeling blue.

Listen, someone's calling-

For a special friend like you.

This morning when I wakened

And saw the sun above,

I softly said,

"Good morning, Lord -

Bless everyone I love."

Right away I thought of you

and said a loving prayer

That He would bless you specially

And keep you free from care.

I thought of all the happiness

A day could hold in store,

I wished it all for you because

No one deserves it more.

I felt so warm and good inside

My heart was all aglow,

I know God heard my prayers for you,

He hears them all,  you know

*************************

Friendship is like a garden,

Of flowers fine and rare,

It cannot reach perfection,

Except through loving care.

 Then, new and lovely blossoms

With each new day appear,

For friendship, like a garden

Grows in beauty year by year.

Why not forward one of this poems in an email to a special friend today and tell them how much they mean to you?  Maybe your husband is your best friend - he probably needs to hear these special words too.
