jewels more precious than the friends God sent my way. My heart overflows with happiness,
with love they share each day. No matter if I"m sad or blue or feeling down and low, I can
always count on their support until the good times flow. Many faults I have, but they don"t
seem to mind. They know that I"m only human and the good they try to find. Thank you,
Lord, for my dear friends whose love is tested and true. They walk with me through life"s
journey and will always see me through. ;Shirley Hile Powell
