God knew that everyone needs

Companionship and cheer,

He knew that people need someone

Whose thoughts are always near.
 

 
He knew they need someone kind

To lend a helping hand.

Someone to gladly take the time

To care and understand.
 

 
God knew that we all need someone

To share each happy day,

To be a source of courage

When troubles come our way.
 

 
Someone to be true to us,

Whether near or far apart.

Someone whose love we'll always

Hold and treasure in our hearts.
 

 
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!
