I thank God each day for placing you in my life.
Many days I would have never made it,
if it wasn't for you.
I love you and I want the
whole wide worls to know.
Love Karen


"A Real Friend"


A real friend is someone
who brightens up your day.

A real friend knows all of your faults,
but loves you anyway.

A real friend is always there,
whenever you need a listening ear.

A real friend will always be there,
to help you dry your tears.

A real friend will
help to pray your fears away.

A real friend will always be there,
letting you know that everything is going to be o.k.

A real friend always
shares in your pain.

A real friend will stick with you in the ruff times,
and their friendship remains the same.

A real friend always thinks of you,
before they think of themselves.

A real friend is always there to give you a hug,
and they are always willing to help.

A real friend doesn't get upset,
when you are to lazy to call.

A real friend will always be there to pick you up,
whenever you fall.

A real friend will always listen to The Holy Spirit,
and they will let Him lead.

A real friend knows  when you
are in trouble or you have a need.

A real friend will be there,
when you just can't take anymore.

A real friend will be there for you,
when your family walks out the door.

A real friend will still be there
when the trails of the day are through.

A real freind is someone that I thank God for,
the day that He sent me You.
