Dear Friend

Dear Friend, what's on your mind

You don’t laugh the way you used to

But I've noticed how you cry

Dear friend, I feel so helpless

I see you sit in silence

As you face new pain each day

I feel there’s nothing I can do

I know you don’t feel pretty

Even though you are

But it wasn’t your beauty

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, you are so precious Dear Friend

Dear friend, I'm here for you

I know that you don’t talk too much

But we can share this day anew

Dear Friend, please don’t feel like you're alone

There is someone who is praying

Praying for your peace of mind

Hoping joy is what you'll find

I know you don’t feel weak

Even though you are

But it wasn’t your strength

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS, DEAR FRIEND
