How Do You Make a Friend?
A friend is a tasty dish
Never too hot, never too cold…
It tickles the tongue and warms the soul
It’s flavor sometimes subtle, other times bold.
But how do you make a friend just so?
What are the steps just right
To mix and stir and prepare and blend
And make a friend that’s a friendly sight?
For starters, assemble the staple goods,
Kindness and love and truth…
Without this trio of ingredients
You’ll spit it out with words uncouth!
Throw in some jokes and also some fun,
Cause although some say “add fun to taste”,
If you ask me, piles and piles of smiles
Will never go to waste.
Add some salt in the language,
Just a bit to make it real…
Some days more salt than others,
Depending on how you feel.
There you have it! A friend to the end…
Oh wait we forgot the most vital stuff…
The love of Christ for a friend worth your life…
Of this meal, you’ll never get enough.
