Dear Friend

The day I met you,
I found a friend
And a friendship that
I pray will never end.

Your smile - so sweet
And so bright.
Kept me going
When day was as dark as night.

You never ever judged me,
You understood my sorrow.
Then you told me it needn't be that way
And gave me the hope of a better tomorrow.

You were always there for me,
I knew I could count on you.
You gave me advice and encouragement
Whenever I didn't know what to do.

You helped me learn to love myself
You made life seems so good.
You said I can do anything I put my mind to
And suddenly I knew I could.

There were times when we didn't see eye to eye
And there were days when both of us cried.
But even so,
We made it through.
Our friendship hasn't yet died.

Circumstances have pulled us apart,
We are separated by many miles, indeed.
Truly, the only thing that keeps me going
Is my treasured memory of your smile.

This friendship we share
Is so precious to me,
I will treasure and cherish our friendship,
Never ever forget you,
My dear friend.
