God
places friends in our
lives
Some
for a season but all for a
reason

Friendship
is like a rose
With
velvet petals soft and
sweet
But
if each petal grew
alone
The
rose would never be
complete
Each
petal's gently molded
Then
placed by God's design
On
one long stem together
The
rose becomes divine
I
thank God for every
friendship
For
friendships old and
new
He
made my garden simply
beautiful
When
He planted a rose in it like
you
