The world can be a lonely place.
We don't talk much about it,
When one of us is happy,
When times are calm it may appear
It only takes a ripple,
I know I'll see my friend again
I'm thinking that it would be better
A friend is someone
True friendship, like love, is good for eternity.
Of all the gifts from heaven
Photos & verse by
Dorothy
Sometimes I want to hide,
Except that God has given me
This gift, a friend alongside.
For words add nothing more.
But my friend and I are closer
Than the sea is to the shore.
The other cheers to the sky.
When one of us is in distress,
The other helps to cry.
We've drifted some apart.
But like the undercurrents,
My friend's deep in my heart.
No matter glad or sad,
And there we are like shore and sea
To share the good or bad.
As sunrise comes each day.
Perhaps I take it for granted...
Will the sea and the shore always stay?
To speak what I know to be true,
To finish each day with a whisper,
"You're my friend; I'll stay beside you."
who knows you too well,
and loves you anyway.
I've had through time and tide,
I know the ones I treasure most
Are my friends here alongside.
