What do we want from the friendships we make?
Someone to care, to be genuine, not fake.
To listen when need be, to help if they can.
To be trusting, sincere, to hold out their hand.
This kind of commitment is hard to find.
But when it happens they are one of a kind.

You look to your friend for support every day.
Your troubles are shared as you go on your way.
You give and you take each others views.
Enjoy a good gossip, but not unkind news.
There’s time to be happy and times to be sad.
Friendships grow strong, the best you have had.

Then in our hearts another friend will appear.
His love, compassion, truth is very clear.
He is our Father in Heaven, our best friend.
And His friendship will be for always till the end.
Friendships are made, friendships are broken.
A true friend of God has His love well spoken.

It’s up to you to be a good friend.
To care and share, be there to mend.
Offer your hand in friendship to others in need.
Such rewards are yours from doing good deeds.
Wonderful moments, friends plenty or few.
Only you can make your friendships true.
