The Gift of Friendship

~*~

Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold.
But it's 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
Diamond, pearls or riches
But the love or real
TRUE FRIENDS!
