DIAMONDS

FRIENDS

Friends are like diamonds that sparkle and shine,

With facets of beauty--planned and divine.

Harder than steel if they have to be,

But constant and sure as eternity.

Friends next to Jesus, are God's greatest gift,

Bringing true joy and a wonderful "lift".

There is always the knowledge to each without doubt,

That good friends will respond should a need come about.

When friends become sisters by warm love entwined,

Or brothers because of their meeting of minds.

Then surely this treasure of friendship on earth,

Was found by these spirits before friends had their birth.
