God's gracious gifts are everywhere,
Open your eyes, you'll find them there.
Friendships are gifts He gave from his heart,
To cherish, love, and never depart.

Like a soft petal from a beautiful flower,
Our friendship is present each passing hour.
Just like a ladybug, softly partaking,
Of the beauty these petals reflect of His making.

With tiny little touches left on my heart,
May our wonderful friendship never depart.
You're just like the beautiful ladybug here,
Sharing sweet essence of love both far and near.

You touch every petal life has to give,
And make life easier for others to live.
Just like this beautiful ladybug and flower,
Your friendship is soft, yet packed with such power.

God Bless You, my gentle friend!
