I have been lucky to have met some incredibly wonderful/nice people in my life. Some, sadly I’ve lost touch with. Several live far away now but I still talk to them when I get a chance. Others live close enough I get to see them when time allows but not nearly often enough because, well, life, right? No matter where friends I’ve had along the way are now, I forever cherish their kindness to me and look fondly back on memories we’ve shared. (Like this beautiful cake from Sweet Sarah. She’s amazing y’all!) Good friends are harder to find as life gets busier and busier because we just don’t always have the time to get to know people like we wish we could but when you do find them, they are priceless in this crazy world. Wherever your friends may be right now, reach out and say hi and let them know you appreciate them. You can even send them a link to this poem and say “Hey! I was thinking of you! Thanks for being awesome.” if that makes it easier. 😉
Today I found a priceless gem
While going through my day.
This priceless gem I would have missed
If I’d been hurrying on my way.
But instead I took the time
To look for good in everyone I met
And soon I found a priceless gift
I won’t ever soon forget.
This priceless gem I found today
Was nice and kind to me.
This priceless gem is always good
And helps others just for free.
This priceless gem does listen
To what others have to say.
And does their best to serve the Lord
And love whatever – come what may.
This priceless gem is always willing
To do service with a smile.
This priceless gem is always willing
To serve that extra mile.
This priceless gem may not be shiny
Like the rubies that you hold.
This priceless gem does not cost money
Like your silver and your gold.
This priceless gift I hope to have
Until my life does end.
This priceless gift made my day –
For today I made a friend.
