KEEP OUR FRIENDSHIP ALIVE

There’s a miracle called Friendship

That dwells in the heart.

You don’t know how it happens

Or when it gets start.

But you know the special lift

It always brings.

And you realize that Friendship

Is God’s most precious gift!

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.

They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.

They lend an ear, they share a word of praise,

And they always want to open their heart to us.
