Have you ever had a back burner friend?
This one you can find will love til the end
She never takes lead, but follows behind,
Will strive with all of her heart to be kind

Convenient, she is, when others are gone,
Yet always prepared to spend time alone
You see in her eyes the depth of her soul,
For God places there her ultimate goal!

The back burner friend has talents galore,
And all that she does for others makes more
It's like planting seed, the eye doesn't see
What's growing beneath the dirt yet to be!

She scatters her love, but focused for sure,
Knowing that loving is always the cure
Seeking to find someone who will return
Love without measure for which a heart yearns!

If a back burner friend happens your way,
Know that she's coming to brighten your day
Available yes, her love will be new,
The kind that is found from only a few!
