Friends

Some friends are like the city streets

They find us in the throng

Rushing to our emergencies

Not afraid when things go wrong

 

Others are suburban lanes

Who come to sit awhile

Patiently listening to our fears

Encouraging us with their smile

 

But a few God makes like country roads

Quiet – as a sunrise warms

Peeking up above our mountains

Silently shining through our storms
