A Loyal Friend Is A Strong Defense

Just sitting under my umbrella, chatting with a friend
Sharing a precious moment, not wanting it to end
Soon the rain will fall, my friend will go his way
But with me will remain the memory of this day.

Life is full of many things, each day brings something new
The umbrella against the rain, a friend good and true
Some days bring me trouble, some bring hurt, other sorrow
Then God fills me with hope and gives sunshine for tomorrow.

I know I must remember when I’m worried or tense
God gives to us, each other…a friend is a strong defense
And I must keep in mind as I think to defend
God provides the umbrella, but I must be the friend.
