A FRIEND HEAVEN SENT

There are many gifts that our Heavenly Father gives us.
but none is greater by far than a friend;
A friend who forgives and accepts us for who we are
and not for who we have been,
A friend who sticks by us during the thick and thin.

Having clothes and shelter and food on our table is a blessing
and our treasures we have collected through the years;
But all these things we have are such little comfort to us
When at times we are so overwhelmed with pain and tears,
Then is when we need those friends, the ones who endear.

You are that gift to me, a gift that God so Carefully chose,
Because he knew that one day I would choose another road
And need a friend like you who would be there for support,
To cheer me on even when I feel low and give me a
Pick-me-up even when you are carrying a heavy load.

I THANK GOD for that friend, He so carefully sent my way,
And I thank Him for your goodness and selflessness even in
your pain, and you still give me your time that is precious spent.
When I need a happy thought, I just think of you, and Praise My
Heavenly Father for a gift so true, the gift I find in you,
That one and only gift that was truly HEAVEN SENT ! ! ! !
