To My Best Friend...
Time would stand still
without you my friend,
and all would cease to be.
For so many times
you have held my hand,
while your smile comforted me.
Just knowing you're there
when I need to talk,
considerably brightens my day.
You always know
in the back of your mind
the most perfect things to say.
Truly I'm blessed
in the friends I have made
but especially with you my friend.
For you are the one
that talks to my heart
and brings smiles to my life again...

                                                  In a friendship
                                      We're free to expose,
                                       Parts of ourselves
                                      Nobody else knows.
                                  But the thing that sustains it
                                       And sets it apart,
                                    Is not something spoken
                                    It's a bond of the heart.
                                      True friends are rare
                                   In a lifetime two or three,
                                    I'm so glad it happened
                                     Between you and me!   
Your friendship means so much to me in, oh, so many ways.
      I hope you know how many times you've brightened up my days.
            You have a way of helping me to see things differently
         At times when I am down and blue you always seem to be
              The one that I can turn to and tell my troubles to.
                 In good times and in bad, I can count on you.
        You always know just what I need, you never let me down;
            Many times you've even made a smile out of a frown.
                So many times I'd like to find a way to express
             The joy you've brought into my life and the happiness.
                 I wanted you to know that from the very start
             You've occupied a special place deep inside my heart
                So, my friend, to tell you how very much I care
               I have something here, with you I'd like to share
         I hope that they will say to you what words can never say
        I hope their beauty makes this, for you, a very special day!
