Merciful Friends

People with the gift of mercy
are my favorite friends, 
Smiles, hugs, and calming words,
patience without end.

Occasions for your mercy work
​increase in huge supply... 
Because the wounds and cares of life,
​with age, do multiply.

I’m grateful for your gentle tongue,
for humor, faith and hope.
You rescue me, like Jesus does
and give me strength to cope.
