THE STRENGTH OF A FRIEND
The Strength of a Friend
Author
- Beverly J. Anderson
I stood one day at my wits
end,
Then you came in the door, my friend;
And just your very presence brought
A ray of light for which I sought.
And as we sat and talked awhile,
My frown soon changed into a smile;
New hope sprang forth, dispelling fear;
The path ahead became more clear...
You truly seemed to understand -
Your spoken word, warm clasp of hand
Were what I needed that bleak day,
And I thank God you passed my way.
Now, unafraid, with courage strong,
I face each day with joyous song,
And if some day I see a friend
Who stands alone at his wits end,
I'll pray that I to him will be
the caring friend you were to me.
