I have a friend! A friend who is true!
A friend I can tell every sorrow to.
I have a friend who stands by my side.
A friend to whom all things I confide.
I have a friend - one beyond compare!
Oh, World, a loyal friend is rare.
I have a friend who passed the test.
I have a friend! - I am truly blessed.
Oh, dear friend, you bring me joy and strife,
I truly feel blessed by you in this crazy life,
Are we truly friends or just cake-loving foes?
For a friend who doesn't mention my waistline, nobody knows!
Your birthday gifts can be sweet and oh so grand,
But if they're not blessings for me each day, understand,
Our friendship may crumble like a stale cupcake with age,
So let's make sure to spread blessings every single day!
When trouble comes your soul to try,
You love the friend who just "stands by."
Perhaps there’s nothing he can do
The thing is strictly up to you;
For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone;
Times when love cannot smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavy load,
But just to know you have a friend
Who will "stand by" until the end,
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours
It helps, someway, to pull you through,
Although there’s nothing he can do.
And so with fervent heart you cry,
"God bless the friend who just 'stands by’!"
The face of a friend! How it shines in the darkness
That often assails us! How preciously near
It seems, when the trial of long, long denial
Has made the sweet blessing unspeakably dear!
The heart is consoled, and is lonely no longer,
Its terrors and tremors are all at an end,
And the way that was dreary becomes bright and cheery,
Illumined at once by the face of a friend.
How sweet to have a faithful friend.
In whom we can confide:
To bless us if we act aright,
And if we err to chide.
Left A Friend
Poet: James R. Lowell
He was so human! whether strong or weak.
Far from his kind he neither sank nor soared,
But sat an equal guest at every board:
No beggar ever felt him condescend.
No prince presume; for still himself he bare
At manhood's simple level, and where'er
He met a stranger, there he left a friend.
