I THINK THAT GOD WILL NEVER SEND
A GIFT SO PRECIOUS AS A FRIEND
A FRIEND WHO ALWAYS UNDERSTANDS
AND FILL EACH NEED AS IT DEMANDS
WHOSE LOYALTY WILL STAND THE TEST
WHEN SKIES ARE BRIGHT OR OVERCAST
WHO SEES THE FAULT THAT MERIT BLAME
BUT KEEP ON LOVING JUST THE SAME
WHO DOES FAR MORE THAN CREEDS COULD DO
TO MAKE US GOOD TO MAKE US TRUE
EARTH'S GIFT A SWEET CONTENTMENT LEND
BUT ONLY GOD GIVES A FRIEND - ROSALIE CARTER.
