"What A Friend"

What a friend you've been to me!
You've stayed through thick and thin;
I'd try to put it into words,
But where do I begin?
So here's a little Valentine
Made specially for you,
To say how much you mean to me;
You're wonderful! Yes, you!

Real Friends"

You've been a very special friend,
So caring and so kind;
You always have an ear to lend,
And good advice to mind.

I'm very fortunate to have
A loving friend like you;
Thanks for always being there;
Real friends are far too few.

You Are My Cherished Friend ...

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.

He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.

I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.

He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.

He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With a cherished friend ....like you.
