Be A Friend

Share yourself with someone

Be a friend today

Your burdens will be lighter

If you share along the way.

Your pleasures will be doubled

If you share them with a friend

Your treasures will be plentiful

If a helping hand, you lend.

So many folks are friendless

As they struggle through each day

How much richer you would be

If you'd help them on their way.

So fill your heart with love

And put a smile upon your face

Share yourself with someone

Put yourself in someone's place.

See what they are going through

Then lend a helping hand

Listen to their troubles

And try and understand.

Friendship given freely

Will be returned to you

Friendship is a gift of God

To be shared a lifetime through.
