The Friend who just stands by

The Friend Who Just Stands By
When trouble comes your soul to try ,
You love the friend who just “stand by “
Perhaps there ‘s nothing he or she can do –
The thing is strictly up to you :
For there are troubles all your own ,
And paths the soul must thread 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 hand clasp is always yours-
It helps ,someway ,to pull you through ,
Although there’s nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart you cry ,
“God Bless the friend who just stands by “
