When all went well with us we did not learn how very brightly Friendships lamp can burn. But when the day was turned to sorrows night we would have stumbled by for Friendships light.When all went well with us we did not know what depth of love a friends true heart could show. But when griefs winter laid our garden bare ah! joy to find bright Friendship blooming there. When all went well we did not understand what streght there is in Friendships outstretched hand but when it held us safe above the waves we learned how Friendships hand both heals and saves. We could not learn, we could not clearly see how beautiful is Friendships gracious tree untill we stumbled neath the heavy load along a steep and winding, stony road.And breathless,weary,sad and sore afraid we reached the tree of Friendships sweet,cool shade.And,like a child against its mothers breast, we found, at Friendships tree, a moments rest!
