Friend

Among the great and glorious gifts our heavenly Father sends,
Is the gift of understanding that we find in a loving friend,
For in this world of trouble that is filled with anxious care,
Everybody needs a friend in whom they're free to share,
The little secret heartaches that lay heavy on their mind,
We seek our true and trusted friend in the knowledge that we'll find,
A heart that's sympathetic and an understanding mind.
