I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> Who had things in common with me <br />Someone who looks beyond here and now <br /> Who lives life joyfully <br /> <br />I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> Because I was lonlely for someone who <br />Tries to walk in God's light, as is good and right <br /> A friend who is honest and true <br /> <br />I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> Who nurtures me back in return <br />And talks of things that matters in life <br /> Who's open to what life has to learn <br /> <br />I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> Who shows concern for me when I hurt <br />Someone who listens, when I have something to say <br /> And who cares for me, even at my worst <br /> <br />I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> Who likes Irish music as I do <br />Someone who is proud of her culture and past <br /> And enjoys a good verse or two <br /> <br />I prayed to God to send me a friend <br /> And he listened to me too <br />My prayers have been answered, He sent me a friend <br /> My good friend, he sent me........you.<br /><br />Kathleen West<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-prayed-to-god-to-send-me-a-friend/
