In the heart of a friend
a prayer is e'er held,   
a dream is believed,    
a care is revealed,       
     a thought's sown a seed,
a feeling's respected,  
a laugh is unfurled.      
a beauty's inspired,     
a note is a pearl,          
       a moment's remembered,
a plan is developed,    
    a smile's always shared,
a secret's laid bare.    



In the heart of a friend 
there's a joy to behold,
a safe place to go,        
a family to know.          
a tenderness felt,         
a warmth ever near,    
a closeness to keep,    
  a flower e'er blooming, 
a fragrance so sweet, 
a path to be walked,    
a faith to be talked       
a day is made full,        
  ever blessed, beautiful.

Poetry From The Heart

Isaiah 12:4 (KJV)
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord, call upon his name,
declare his doings among the people,
make mention that his name is exalted.
