For all the times you listened

while I rambled on and on...

For the comfort that you gave me

when my days were cold and long...



For the sunshine of your smile

with its brilliance warm and true...

For the wisdom of your words

when I didn't have a clue...

For standing tall beside me,

proud to be my friend...

For assembling my pieces

when I needed help to mend...

For sharing in my laughter

when the good times rolled around...

For the solace of your silence

when I fell and hit the ground....

For all these things and so much more

these words I give to you...

Of all the friends in all the world

the truest one is you
