friendship

friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold
but its value is far greater
than the mountain made of gold

for gold is cold & lifeless
it can neither see nor hear
& in the time of trouble
it is power less 2 cheer--
it has no ears 2 listen
nor heart 2 understand
it cannot bring u comfort
or reach out a helping hand
so when u ask
god for a gift
be thankful if he sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of real true friends
