I Call You Friend
When you get down.
Just look around.
Find that friend you have
been missin’.
The one that always takes
time to listen.
What makes one make a friend
of you?
You will listen whether
they’re excited or blue.
Friends are like sisters but
with different moms.
Each forming unique and
special bonds.
You might ask, where do
friends come from?
Why are they here?
Did they just miraculously
appear?
It’s my belief God places
these people at various places.
To show all he loves us and
to display his graces.
Friendship is easy when all
goes well.
No testing or turbulence, all
going just swell.
True friendship though
survives the trials.
When everything is over you
can hug and smile.
Helping each other through a tough
time.
Becoming even closer after
the climb.
Friends often will let you
down and they will.
You want to tell them off,
give them their fill.
But you don’t (usually)
something inside you says no.
Besides you’ve done the same
to others also.
You know were all flawed from
the start.
It’s a condition of our
heart.
Since the fall of mankind,
Imperfection in everyone we
will find.
Yes even our best bestest
friend.
Sometimes will be the one we
can’t depend.
You see friendship is a
trust.
Unconditional love is a must.
A bond that can’t be broken.
Even if a cruel word is
spoken.
So stay close no matter what
life brings.
Through the big and those
never ending little things.
Friendship must be important
and have a great reward,
Because friendship was
demonstrated through Jesus our Lord
Who said “therefore I call
you my friend”.
You see friends know how you think;
friends know where you’ve been.
Friendship it’s priceless.
But only if you let someone
in.
