The Gift of Friendship by Helen Steiner Rice
Friendship is a Priceless Gift that cannot be bought or sold
But it’s value is far greater
Than a mountain made of Gold.
For Gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in a time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer.
It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand.
So when you ask GOD for a GIFT,
Be thankful if HE sends
Not Diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the LOVE of real true FRIENDS.
