WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS

                            God knew that everyone needs
                                 companionship and cheer,
                                 He knew that people need someone
                                 whose thoughts are always near.
                                 He knew they needed someone kind
                                 to lend a helping hand,
                                 someone to gladly take the time
                                 to care and understand....
                         That's why God gave us friends.
                     He knew that we all need someone
                              To share each happy day,
                              To be a source of courage
                              When troubles come our way,
                              Someone to be true to us
                              Whether near or far apart,
                              Someone whose love we'll always hold
                              And treasure in our hearts....
                        That's why God gave us friends.
