A Friend is a Gift

Among the great and glorious gifts
   our heavenly Father sends
Is the gift and understanding
   that we find in loving friends,
For in this world of trouble
   that is filled with anxious care
Everybody needs a friend
   in whom they're free to share
The little secret heartaches
   that lay heavy on their mind,
Not just a mere acquaintance
   but someone who's just our kind.
For, somehow, in this generous heart
   of loving, faithful friends
The good God in his charity
   and wisdom always sends
A sense of understanding
   and power of perception
And mixes these fine qualities
   with kindness and affection
So when we need some sympathy
   or a friendly hand to touch,
Or an ear that listens tenderly
   and speaks words that mean so much,
We seek our true and trusted friend
   in the knowledge that we'll find
A heart that's sympathetic
   and an understanding mind...
And often without a word
   there seems to be a union
Of thoughts and kindred feelings
   for God gives true friends communion
