The Vow of Friendship


Shaun and Katie's Poem


Eyes are the windows to the soul,
expressing more than words can be told.
Friendship isn't only spending time together,
but the commitment to make every quality last forever.

I'll take your hand if you take mine.
We'll walk in Jesus throughout time.
He'll be there for the temptations and trials.
He'll lift our spirits with many smiles.

I'll sing your song when you forget the words,
sing the melody like a bird.
We'll soar through life with helping hands,
where in our hearts, God does stand.

We'll develop together, forever in Him.
And when you fall, I'll pull you back on your limb.
I'll be there for you when you need me near.
I'll be the one to wipe away your tears.

I'll be here for you when you need a prayer,
just to let you know that I care.
I'll be here in your times of distress,
when the Devil tries to put you at test.

I'll be the one that you can run to,
when times are feeling blue.
But let Jesus heal your heart,
with his extremely blessing art.

If I have to forgive you 70 times 7 times, I will.
No matter what you do, I'll love you still.

I'll love you if you fall.
I'll love you if you stand.
I'll love you for who you are.
In love, I'll take your hand.

A vow of eternal friendship, I devote to you with all my heart.
Our distance could never heave this blossoming friendship apart.
Spiritually, I am right by your side,
helping to give grace, love and a cheerful guide.

Best friends forever, is what I want us to be.
Best friends in God is how we see.
I give you this vow with all of my love,
because a friend like you is sent from Heaven above.
