About Friend

Be a Friend
Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.


Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.


Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.

The Gift of Friendship


Friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold.
But it's value is far greater
than a mountain made of gold.


For gold is cold and lifeless,
it can neither see nor hear.
And in a 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.
