The Friend Who Just Stands By

When troubles come, your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by.

Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own and
Paths the soul must tread alone.

Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lifts the heavy load.

But, just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.

Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose hard handclasp is always yours.

It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.

And so, with fervent heart, we cry,
"God bless the friend who just stands by."
