Friendship: One Of God's Greatest Gifts
By Lauren Manning
I was the young age of three,
and oh, so very small.
I knew almost nothing,
nothing at all.
When I saw a cute little girl
shaking with fear,
all alone in the corner
with her eyes full of tears,
I thought to myself,
I’ll go be her friend.
So I went over to her
and touched her sweet little hand.
I said to my new friend,
“Do you want to play?”
My new friend said, “Yes,”
and her tears went away.
It’s been fifteen years now,
and our friendship’s still strong.
I can hardly believe
we’ve been best friends this long.
As I went to her that day,
I was the angel to be.
How could I have known
that God sent her to me?
But angels need two wings
if they don’t want to sit and just rest,
so God combined both our wings
to show us we’re blessed.
We can’t thank him enough
for his gift of kindness and love.
We are both each other’s angels
sent from heaven above!
