Friendship is a priceless gift

That can't be bought or sold

But it's value is far greater

Than a mountain made of gold

For gold is cold and lifeless;

It can neither see nor hear

And in a time of trouble,

It is powerless to cheer.

It has no ears to listen,

Nor a heart to understand

It cannot give 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 a true friend
