Many people need a friend,
An angel unawares,
Just to help them through the day
Or know that someone cares.
A little lady came to me.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
She was weary from abuse
And had so many fears.
In her body she was aching,
Her emotions were worn down.
As she talked I understood
Why she sometimes wore a frown.
She is one of many folks
Who carry burdens every day.
These are those who need a friend
To bring encouragement and pray.
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
Proverbs 17:17 KJV
