A Friend is a Lovely Gift

By Marjorie Kinnee

 

True friends are like the spice of life,
We’ve often heard folks say;
And spice enlivens everything,
Including a cloudy day.

Faithful friends who’re kind and steady,

Are few and far between;

They choose to go the second mile,

And work behind the scene.

They give in generous measure,

Gifts of talent and time impart;

A willing hand, a listening ear,

And a loving, gentle heart.

Such friends like rarest treasure,

Are gifts from heaven above;

They illustrate in human form,

Our Blessed Savior’s love!
