Friends

© Anita M. Weld 1996

What qualities make a faithful friend?
One on whom you can depend
To speak the truth without offense.
To share their thoughts without pretense.

It takes sincerely loving God.
To willingly walk the path Jesus trod.
To lay their life down for their friend
When help is needed, hand and heart extend.

A true friend is very rare indeed.
So many can't see beyond their own need.
Their hardness of heart won't comfort me
I can love as Jesus or choose to flee.

I have friends that let me be
All that I am and see what God sees.
I have truly found treasures so rare.
I honor those whose friendship I share!

Maranatha,
Anna
