A friendship worth far more!

Friends are often like family

They are supportive and

Give a shoulder to cry on in times of loss.

They cheer you on and

Watch you race in the pouring rain.

Friends value laughter shared over pancakes and pizza

They make memories that will bring smiles for a lifetime.

Friends are also encouraging

Through trails and decisions of life

Through that agony of procrastination

And through your walk with God.

Most importantly, a true friend is honest

Honesty is key to a successful friendship.

Lies only bring turmoil

Yet, unconditional forgiveness strengthens the bond.

Friends are there to listen

When you feel no one else is there,

In a moment of doubt the whispers of "I am here"

Is the love they have for you.

Because I love you really means

I love you because God loved me first.
