"A friend loveth at all times!"
Oh, what a beautiful thought!
A friendship is "cultivated,"
But never ever bought!

A friend is one who'll stand by you,
When clouds are dark and gray,
And be at your "beckon call,"
No matter what hour of the day!

A friend will lend a "listening" ear,
To a problem great or small,
And never tell what you've told them,
No matter "who" comes to call!

A friend will visit when you've missed Church,
Or send a card your way,
They'll kneel before our God above,
And call out your name when they pray!

A friend will know when to come around,
When you're down and feeling blue,
And have the very words to say,
That God has sent to you!

A friendship doesn't have to cease,
When someone moves out of state!
You can spend some vacation time with them.
The fellowship is great!

Take in a couple of Camp Meetings,
And then visit one of God's creations!
Spend some "Prayer time" together,
And strengthen those friendly relations!

The Scripture plainly tells us if we want friends,
We must friendly be!
Friendships started down here on Earth,
Can last eternally!

When a friend dies you love them still,
Although you're far apart!
Their memory and your love for them,
Remains inside your heart!

Although you may have many friends,
Another can't take their place,
And there is a longing in your heart,
To once more see their face!

There are natural friendships,
And also friendships Divine!
Yes, some friends are so close,
That their very hearts entwine!

How wonderful it is,
For a man and his wife
To be joined together,
And remain good friends for life!

And yet, a greater friendship,
Is one with Jesus our Lord,
When we find sweet Communion,
Together in one accord!

A friendship with Jesus,
Is far above any other!
Scripture says that He's a "Friend,
That sticketh closer than a brother!"

He was our great example of friendship,
To the very end!
For greater love could no man have,
Than to lay down his life for his friends!
