My Friend
                          By: Michael Gallela

        When my greatest fear rises
         Up in the night
             And I tremble in terror
                  You hold me tight

      As I walk into danger
          Eyes open and bright
              You stay my course
                   Leading me to light

      Always staying beside me
          Never walking ahead
              You look not to lead
                  But to comfort instead

      You give me quite soloce
          And softly you tread
             When I am lonely and my
  Heart filled with dread
 
      When others asail me and
          Cause me filght
              You stand before me as an
    Angel of Might

      I may never say it
          Never a message I send
              But I love and need you
    And call you my friend
