| I was sitting here thinking of the words I want to say, but they just wouldn't come out right so I found a different way I got a piece of paper and I wrote this poem for you, but there's no way to thank you for everything you do For always being nice to me and staying by my side, for helping fix my problems and never leaving me behind For accepting my thoughts and feelings, though you do not understand, for never giving up on me and being my best friend For making me laugh and letting me cry and saying you'd miss me if I were to die Everything you mean to me you could never know In all the ways you've changed my life I could never show The way you take care of me, you're my shining star and though it's so incredible that's just the way you are Before I get too mushy it's time for me to go, but before I leave this ink-filled page there's one thing you should know As long as we are living, no matter when or where, if you ever need me just call and I'll be there I'll climb a thousand mountains and swim a thousand seas anything to be there 'cause you've been there for me |

| There's lots of things with which I'm blessed, My problems have been few, But of all, this one's the best: To have a friend like you In times of trouble friends will say, "Just ask, I'll help you through it." But you don't wait for me to ask, You just get up and do it! And I can think of nothing more That I could wisely do, Than know a friend, and be a friend, And have a friend like you |

| A friend is one who stands to share Your every touch of grief and care He comes by chance, but stays by choice Your praises he is quick to voice No grievous fault or passing whim Can make an enemy of him And though your need be great or small His strength is yours throughout it all No matter where your path may turn Your welfare is his chief concern No matter what your dream may be He prays your triumph soon to see There is no wish your tongue can tell But what it is your friend's as well The life of him who has a friend Is double-guarded to the end. |

| A special friend is someone to treasure, That someone to be with always a pleasure. There to help when life gets too rough, A friend by your side when the going is tough. Someone to listen, a shoulder to lean on, A friend's always there when others have gone. Will laugh with you, cry with you, no matter what, Faults and shortcomings don't concern her a jot. So, to my special friend, I thank you each day And know that forever by my side you will stay. Through good times and bad times you'll always be there, My tears to ease and my laughter to share. |
 |
| I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word! I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind! I asked that He be near you At the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way! I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all! |
