Why God gave us Friends~
God knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer
He knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.
![](special/springcreekflowers.jpg)
He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand,
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.
![](special/springcreekflowers.jpg)
God knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way
![](special/springcreekflowers.jpg)
Someone to be true to us
Whether near or far apart,
Someone whose love we'll always hold
And treasure it in our hearts.
That's why God gave us friends.
