You are my friend, and
friend you'll always be
If I say something
wrong and you speak up,
For such rebuke from
you is wine to me:
I may not like your
criticism now
But you speak from a
heart of love and care.
Much more from you than
others I'd allow;
Their motives may not be
sincere and fair.
An enemy may flatter
with his tongue
But stab you in the
back first chance he gets.
A kiss from Judas, then
the armed crowd sprung;
He was no friend of
Jesus when they met.
Your admonition, friend, is better than
The stench from some perfume some foe would fan.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Proverbs 27:6 KJV
