How Can One Explain?

How can one explain
A feeling in the air?
How can one explain
A feeling very rare?

How can one define
A person always there…
One who says
No matter what I care.

A lot of times I think of this
When I am feeling down
And by the time that I am through
High spirits come around.

Even words from an angel's tongue
Are limited, this is true.
No words can explain
The kind of friend like you!

Just Like A Rose

Just like a rose,
so precious and rare,
is the forever friendship
the two of us share.

Planted with kindness,
it's warmed by the sun
of caring and sharing,
laughter and fun.

It's grounded in trust
and nurtured by love,
with a sprinkling of grace
from God up above.

Tears of sadness and joy,
like dew, renew this friendship
I share with you.

And in the heart's garden,
we find the room to be ourselves,
to grow and bloom.

A blessing of beauty unsurpassed,
our friendship's a flower
that will always last.

A Friend From Above

I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me.

I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
In the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent.
