WALK BESIDE ME
Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
A real friend is someone who walks in
when the rest of the world walks out.
Forgiveness is the glue,
that repairs broken relationships.
Nature has given to men one tongue,
but two ears, that we may hear
from others twice as much
as we speak.
True friends are like diamonds,
precious and rare.
A friend is someone
who knows the song in your heart,
and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words.
A friend is one who believes in you
when you have ceased to believe
in yourself.
It takes a long time
to grow an old friend.

THE LOVE OF A FRIEND
Because you love me, I have found
New joys that were not mine before;
New stars have lightened up my sky
With glories growing more and more.
Because you love me I can rise
To the height of fame and realms of power;
Because you love me I may learn
The highest use of every hour.
Because you love me I can choose
To look through your dear eyes and see
Beyond the beauty of the Now
Far onward to Eternity.
Because you love me I can wait
With perfect patience well possessed;
Because you love me all my life
Is circled with unquestioned rest;
Yes, even Life and even Death
Is all unquestioned and all blest.
