My Friend

Sometimes it seems to me that life is hard to bear

but I'm glad I have a friend that I know is always there

He's with me when I'm lonely, to help brighten up my day,

and when I need someone to talk to

by my side He always stays.

My friend is like a father who teaches me new things

He is also like a brother who understands my needs

I am so glad He loves me, and cares the way he does

It's Him that I depend on for Joy and Strength and Love.
