Mary Wismer - TRUE FRIEND

Friends are God's way of taking care of us.
Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows.
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

A friend is someone who walks in
when the whole world has walked out.
Side by side or miles apart, good friends are always
close to the heart. A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace. Catching your tears,
When you cry. Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Friends will come and friends will go,
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

Mary Wismer
