bought or sold, But its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold-- For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer-- It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand, It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand-- So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls, or riches, but the love of real true FRIENDS.
