Friend is a word that I don't throw around
Though it's used and abused, I still like the sound.
I save it for people who've done right by me
And I know I can count on, if ever need be.
Some of my friends drive big limousines
Own ranches and banks and visit with queens,
And some of my friends are up to their neck
In overdue notes and can't write a check.
They're singers or ropers or writers of prose
And others, God bless 'em, can't blow their own nose!
I guess being friends don't have nothing' to do
With talent or money or knowing who's who.
It's a comfortable feeling when you don't have to care,
'Bout choosing your words or being quite fair.
'Cause friends'll just listen and let go on by
Those words you don't mean and not bat an eye.
It makes a friend happy to see your success.
They're proud of your good side and forgive all the rest.
And that ain't so easy, all of the time,
Sometimes I get crazy and seem to go blind!
Your friend just might have to take you on home,
Or remind you sometime, that you're not alone.
Or ever so gently pull you back to the ground,
When you think you can fly, with no one around.
A hug or a shake, whichever seems right
Is the high point of giving, I'll tell you tonight,
All worldly riches and tributes of men,
Can't hold a candle to the worth of a friend.

NCBA Young Producers Council National Blog: "CATTLE CALL"
This announcement is long overdue but when God is running your life his business tends to come before your own planned schedule! :) The NCBA Young Producers Council has been diligently working in the workshop based in the land of blogosphere for many months. Thanks in large part to Cari Rinker of the YPC, there is now a daily blog made up of YPC members up and running! 'Cattle Call' features a different blogger daily from every region of the US. I have signed on to be on of the contributing bloggers. Hopefully we will be able to get WA on the map and remind folks there's TWO Washingtons!
