To Love Someone by Teresa Cooper

To Love Someone

To love someone is a priceless gift
It cannot be bought or sold
Its value is far greater
Than a mountain built of gold

For gold is cold and lifeless
It can neither see nor hear
And when in times of trouble
It is powerless to cheer

It has no ears to listen
No heart to understand
And when in times of trouble
Cannot reach out a helping hand

So when I ask God for a gift
I am thankful that he sends
No diamonds, pearls or riches
But sends the love of a real true friend
