God knows there would be times <br />we'd need a word of cheer <br />want the face of smile <br />to brush away our tears <br /> <br />He knows there would be times <br />we'd need the joy of 'little things' <br />in order to appreciate what life brings <br />across our steps on this long road <br /> <br />He knows our hearts <br />oftentimes throb with aches and pains <br />at the door of trials and misfortunes <br />when the day is dark with no light at sight <br /> <br />He knows we'd need the comfort <br />of an understanding heart <br />to give us strength and courage <br />that we make a fresh and new start <br /> <br />He knows we’ll need companionship <br />that’s unselfish, lasting and true, <br />thus, He always answers our heart's call <br />with the gift of a Friend, like you<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cherished-friend/
