"...A Friend Who By My Side Will Stay..."


Reminiscent of stained glass, this sweet vintage friendship picture was discovered in an antique shop in Allen, Michigan "Antique Capital of the World" on a sunny Saturday recent.

Written by Gladys O. Wilson the sentiment goes like this:

Friends
I think that God has given me
A friend indeed that will always be
Whose ways are pure and manifest
And supersedes all of the rest
A friend who by my side will stay
When all the others have gone away
Who won't desert me in times of despair
But demonstrate unquestioned love & care
Who has proved by love and loyalty
The essence of what a friend should be
When on others I couldn't depend
You were the one I could call "Friend"
