Sometimes friendship is golden
Sometimes friendship is sweet
It’s pearls are no trinket or token
It’s value a treasure indeed.
But sometimes friendship is shaken
It’s tested and tried till it’s true
Words are hastily spoken
It’s song gets sung out of tune.
Words aren’t easily forgotten
But forgiveness is not far behind
If friendship has roots at the bottom
It’s rose has plenty of time.
Sometimes friendship is easy
Sometimes friendship is grand
It’s gifts are no meager offering
It’s miracles no sleight of hand.
But sometimes friendship gets jostled
It’s weathered, battered and bruised
Silence seems loud in the waiting
Harmony’s swapped for the blues.
Wounds aren’t easily mended
But forgiveness won’t run out of time
If friendship has roots at the bottom
It’s flower won’t fail to see light.

Oh wow!!! This is beautiful and perfect timing and encouragement..I recently had a falling out with a best friend (mainly because of my sassy Paige girl) but nevertheless feelings were tossled on both ends…but recently both my friend I have realized forgiveness trumps and we can’t allow Satan a foothold!😊❤️ thank God for those roots!!
Amen! Those roots make a difference. 😊
I love it. I think it captured “love” too
Alsolutely! That thought crossed my mind too. All relationships, whether romantic or not, require love.
Love it!
Thank you. ❤
Very very true words Tina. I have experienced all the above post brain injury. Most have gone away but a few have faithfully remained and have even fought for the friendship. It’s all grace but I’m learning to hold everything (especially people) in a opened hand.
I’m sorry that you’ve lost friends. It’s hard to lose people we care for. It’s through the tough stuff that we learned who our true friends are isn’t it? Thankfully Jesus is the friend who will never fail. As Michael W. Smith sang, “friends are friends forever, if the Lord’s the Lord of them. He’s the glue that keeps us together! ❤
Love that song! He sang it at George Bush’s funeral and I cried like a baby!
Oh really!? Yeah, it’s a great song.
Very well expressed.
Thank you!
