Have you got a true Friend to say this to?



(A lone voice whispers)


Some people come into our lives



By His profound wish  

Like a flickering candle


Some people flicker briefly into our existence


Then extinguish


But you're one in a million


A friendship  

No power can diminish


So drink in these words


That will always be distinguished


For our friendship is like being open


To whatever this life brings


The pain  

Suffering  

The smiles and happiness


Standing beside those whose kindness and compassion


With courage  

Helps our soul as it sings


Beyond the voices of misery


Grief or sadness


(C)
