The Friend who Just Stands By - by B.Y. Williams

When trouble comes your soul to try
Love the friend who just "stands by"
Perhaps there's nothing he can do -
The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone
Times when love cannot smooth the road
Nor friendship life the heavy load.

But just to know you have a friend
Who will "stand by" until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours

It helps, someway, to pull you through
Although there's nothing you can do
And so with fervent heart you cry
"God Bless the friend who just stands by".
