with the grace of a friend

when you have been graced with the presence of a bona fide friend
an angel has anointed a special soul to look after you
through the darkest of valleys or upon the most treacherous peak
a mighty yet gentle hand reaches out to take yours within its clutch
and you most assuredly know your every journey has been blessed

there is no danger too daunting lurking wherever the road may bend
we must cherish our guardians reciprocating for the kind acts they do
be caring compassionate and honest with them whenever you speak
chase not those who care treasure them for our hearts have they touched
such a warm enduring bond weathers a lifetimes most challenging tests
