A Priceless Giftby Helen Steiner Rice Friendship is a priceless giftThat can't be bought or sold,But its value is far greaterThan a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless,It cannot see nor hear,And in your times of trouble,It is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen,No heart to understand.It cannot bring you comfortOr reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift,Be thankful that he sends,Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,But the love of a real, true friend.
