Of the many friends I've treasured
Those who've lived the longest time
Are the ones who were the kindest
With their gifts of heart and mind;
Never selfish; Never greedy;
Never sparing loving care;
Always sharing of their harvests
And the fortunes of their prayers.
They were, always busy people
Helping others with their needs
And, forever, sowing kindness
In their acts of Christian deeds;
None were, ever, rich or noble
Or possessed of master minds;
They were only humble people,
God had blessed for being kind.
