Special Friend

by Marian Jones

If you have a special friend,
   You have the greatest treasure,
For the devotion that she shows
   Will give you so much pleasure.

When troubles come your way
   She's there to help you through;
She never fails or falters
   In all she's asked to do.

When you need encouragement
   She's there to cheer you on;
Her faith in you is constant
   When other friends have gone.

Of all the precious jewels
   The world could ever hold,
To have a friend like you
   Is a beauty to behold.
