“Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought nor sold, But its value is far greater Than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold & lifeless - It can neither see nor hear, In time of trouble its powerless to cheer - It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand, It cannot bring you comfort Or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, Be thankful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches But the love of real true friends”
