The Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a Priceless Gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
than a mountain of 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.
