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.
