A friend in need © Tony Fallon.032417

Do you have a friend who to whom life seems unfair?

Who of troubles and worries gets more than their share?

Did you ever try to make this person’s life better?

By calling on the phone or writing them a letter

Did you tell them you remembered them in prayer?

That God would lift from their soul their sad despair

Did you tell them you are forever their friend?

Until the pain in their heart comes to an end

Did you offer to take them on a good long walk?

And that you’d stay silent unless they wanted to talk

Did you hug them and not bug them?

Did you praise or condemn?

Did you tell them you loved them and they were a gem?

Did you promise to help with the grocery shopping?

Did you promise to help with the cleaning and mopping?

Did you bring a CD with their favorite singer or song?

Did you sit together on the sofa and sing along?

If you do any of this they have no complaint
Because they have a friend who is really a saint.
