Dear Priscilla remember the race [wasn't] given to the swift but to the one that endureth to the end, so just keep your chin up. God is still here, we are praying for you all and will continue so keep up the good work. If there is anything we can do please let it be known.

There's a magic that lies in friendship,

A magic that's like a song

That brightens and cheers our pathway

Each day as we go along...

There's a magic that lies in friendship

As deep as the world is wide

That brings a glad smile to the morning

And peace to the eventide...

And a day will never be lonely

If we can say at the end

We've walked the pathway together

Side by side with a friend.

The Magic Of Friendship

[Drawing of a door with a basket of flowers on the doorstep]

There's a magic that lies in friendship,

A magic that's like a song

That brightens and cheers our pathway

Each day as we go along...

There's a magic that lies in friendship

As deep as the world is wide

That brings a glad smile to the morning

And peace to the eventide...

And a day will never be lonely

If we can say at the end

We've walked the pathway together

Side by side with a friend.
