Friendship is a Priceless Gift,
It cannot be bought or sold;
But its value is far greater,
Than a mountain made of Gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear;
And in the time of trouble,
It is powerless to cheer.

It has no ears to listen,
Nor heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort,
Or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if He sends ...
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the Love of Real True Friends.

~Friends~

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered
And nobody helped us along,
If everybody looked after himself,
And good things all went to the strong;

If nobody cared just a little for you,
And nobody thought of me,
And we all stood alone, in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be!

Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made
And the things which in common we share;
We want to live on, not because of ourselves,
But because of the people who care.

It's giving and doing for somebody else;
On that all life's splendor depends.
And the joy of this world, when it's all added up,
Is found in the making of friends.
