A friend is ones who stands by us in times of need
They stay beside us when everyone else leaves
They know when we're happy or feeling a tad sad
Stand by us in both, the good times and bad
Friends are those who become a wing for our prayers
they are never strangers, but as angels unaware
For they love us, pray for us, wiped our tears
Their wings are the feathers that lighten our cares
Friends are ones, in whom we trust and confide
understand our trials struggles and strifes
They take time for us laying aside their own needs
Through their thoughtful, loving, kind acts and deeds
Nothing surprises a friend, when at times we fall
They understand our failures, never make us feel small
Friends endeavor to encourage us to build our faith
Aid us to rise above them and learn from our mistakes
They dont need to understand our brooding tears
They know theres meaning, behind all our cares
They lifted us up through the grace of prayer
And wrap around us their gentle arms of care
Friends share a unique bond, Gods plan above
They're a blessing, an expression of His love
They are never strangers, but as angels unaware
Sent by providence, under His watchful eye of care
Friends are those who become a wing for our prayers
They listen, no matter the burden we share
For they love us, pray for us, wiped our wistful tears
Their wings are the feathers, that lighten our cares.
