My Friends                         by Miriam Spengler   There's nothing in the world more precious Than the friends God sent my way. My heart overflows with happiness As we share our love each day. There are times I feel sad and lonely. To the Lord I begin to pray For the loneliness that comes my way. His answered prayers help me to live A life of friendship which they give. We all have faults, I know I do But they don't seem to mind. They know that I am human And the good they try to find. Thank you Lord for my dear friends In case you might not know How very much your friendship means, The older that I grow. There's happiness in little things There's joy in passing pleasure But friendships are from year to year The best of all life's treasure.
