Choose your friends with care
What they are you may become
Be not careless when you choose
Where your friends come from.
Their influence can be bad or good
Depending who you choose
If you are not careful
Your own soul you may lose.
Many examples we can find
Today in the Bible recorded
Evil companions push sin
And leave your life disorted.
Godly companions can be
A blessing in word and deed
And help guide us to light
If we their council will heed.
Take Jonathan and David
For examples in this way,
Loyal to God and each other
Until their very last day.

Yet look at Jehoshaphat’s life
With Ahab made affinity
But Jezebel’s wicked daughter
Became his son’s wife consequently.
You may think you’ll be fine
You’re too strong to bend,
But what about your children
Where may it their souls send?
So be not careless when choosing
With whom you hang around
They’ll have great influence on you
This truth is firmly found.
Hannah J. Bullen
