'A Picture Of Friends' Poem by Greg Oosterhouse

What could be worth more?
What can inspire to Earth's ends?
What causes ecstasy galore
More than a picture of friends?

Go to all purveyors of art,
Consult the most knowledgeable curator.
All of the masterpieces in whole or in part
Do not come to the value that is greater.

Keep your DaVinci's, keep your Picasso's,
Degas', Monet's, even your Kinkade's.
Around all those I'd throw a lasso
Than give up this picture that love made.

Friends are treasures, sources of joy,
Sent from the Lord God above.
They are meant for every girl and boy.
They inspire thoughts of happiness and love!


Lord, in all I do, may the glory go to You. Amen.
