There is nothing like shade on a hot summer day,
A soft gentle breeze through the leaves as they sway,
A strong sturdy trunk as I sit for a while,
Its limbs reaching upward, I sigh, and I smile.
The trunk has my back as it holds me upright,
A welcomed relief what a beautiful sight,
A comfort when weary in need of a rest,
After struggles and trials that seem like a test.
When I become weary the Lord sends a friend,
Someone beside me until I can mend,
Someone to smile, share a story or two,
Some of them humorous some of them true.
Praise God for the friendships I have in my life.
With the help of my friends, I can get through the strife.
