Friends
Life brings us friendships that come and go
Some last a lifetime and joyful memories they will sow
Some are short and last only a season
They’re here to teach us a lesson, there is always a reason
When these friends leave our life
We are filled with grief and great strife
We find it hard to understand
But always know God has a great plan
Our friend’s departure leaves us feeling betrayed
But when you truly look back, strong lessons were paved
So, choose to remember the good
The laughs, the conversations, the tough trials withstood
They were put there for a reason
To brighten your life’s season
Then there are friends that were meant for life
They are with you thru the good, the bad and the strife
Time slips away and years go by
You wonder where your friendships lie
But when you reconnect, it’s like you didn’t miss a beat
Your spiritual connection runs so deep
So, value all of life’s friendships that are brought your way
Grab your lessons and then go enjoy the day
People are brought on your path to help you advance
To make you grow and make you dance
So, don’t be sad when they go
You got to enjoy their spirit as you walked life’s road
Your friends for life will always be there
To make you smile and bring great cheer
Season and life friends are both needed for the lessons they will lend
To take us up and down and around life’s bends
Whatever time you may be in
Always remember to try and be a good friend!
