RARE IS THE FRIEND

We all have acquaintances,
People we know.
We meet them and greet them,
Then we turn, and we go

At times we have friends,
With whom we can share
Our joys and our sorrow
And an occasional prayer

But rare is the one,
Who’s willing to stand,
Through struggles and heartaches,
With an outreached hand

And rare is the one,
Who has similar dreams.
Who encourages your ideas
And fanciful schemes

And rare is the one who,
Through test and through trial,
Keeps a joyful song,
And magical smile

So I thank God,
At the start of each day,
For Blessing me ...
By sending YOU this way!
