Friendship is so much fun...
It means the world to me.
Walking with you in the sun,
Is such a pleasant site to see...

You listened as we had our talks.
You helped to mend my broken heart!
We've went for many walks,
Never were we, far apart.

You know my heart, so true.
When times for me, were so sad...
You made me feel brand new.
Never, ever did you get mad.

When I had talks with you.
You wondered why I gave so much!
To someone who was new.
And always stayed in touch.

Do you remember when?
You walked with me,
It was to the bitter end!
You made me see...

I was never alone,
You showed me love from inside.
So my weary heart wouldn't roam,
The Lord above, as your guide.

You helped me to learn,
That when times got tough.
For things I dearly yearned.
That things weren't all that rough...

To lean on the Lord,
When I was so very sad,
To rise up with his amour and sword.
And to never get mad...

Showed me how much you cared,
Making me realize.
Even when people stopped and stared,
Friendships come in many a size...

Thank you so much,
For being my best friend..
We'll always be in touch,
To the very end...
