FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT

FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT
    THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD
    BUT ITS VALUE IS FAR GREATER
    THAN THE MOUNTAIN MADE OF GOLD
    FOR GOLD IS COLD  LIFELESS
    IT CAN NEITHER SEE NOR HEAR
    IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE
    IT IS POWER LESS 2 CHEER--
    IT HAS NO EARS 2 LISTEN
    NOR HEART 2 UNDERSTAND
    IT CANNOT BRING U CONFORT
    OR REACH OUT A HELPING HAND
    SO WHEN U ASK
    GOD FOR A GIFT
    BE THANKFUL IF HE SENDS
    NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS OR RICHES
    BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS
