for a friend.

Your name is Strength for you carry
those whom you love through a trial or pain,
(and so carefully--how much value is
gained from your actions will never be known)
for you as well know suffering.

They call you Loyalty for you love at all times,
convenience doesn’t matter to you,
(greater love has no one then this,
that he lay down his life for his friends)
you can never be found too far away.

I hear you called Faithful because
though there are times you cannot see
(you aren’t walking blindly, for there is
One has gone on before you).
you trust whole-heartedly.

Shouts of “Hopeful!” are heard
as you pass by with optimism
(you are radiant so brightly
with the love of Jesus)
your footsteps even echo it.

Your name too is Courageous
for you fight bravely
(though it isn’t him or her
you’re truly fighting for)
to achieve victory.
