She was a little older and as bossy as could be
But from Pre-K to 6th grade, she was “best friend” to me

“Inseparable” is what they said and that is what we were
My family moved, the bond was broke, I barely remember her

Jr. High brought many best friends forever and always we said
I’d be hard pressed to tell you now if they are living or dead

High school added a few more names to the list of my best friends
But petty fights and jealous hearts led us to a road of dead ends

College came and we matured surely these friendships would last
But now it’s done and they are gone. Four years just went too fast

Then I found someone that knew me so much better than the rest
And yet he claimed to love me then came the ultimate test

Marriage would surely strengthen it—our friendship wouldn’t end
We placed the rings, we said the vows and I lost my best friend

The day that bond was broken we began to drift apart
No longer could I tell him all the secrets of my heart

The years were dark and lonely I tried to live without you
But I felt you calling out to me and in my heart I knew

I could not give up the search, and I knew someday I’d find
The very last best friend for me, the one who’s the forever kind

The love we share is seldom found by anyone today
A part of me you have become and I hope will always stay

You’ve been so many things to me—much more than any other
A buddy, a pal, a confidant, and a teasing, taunting brother

You’ve lifted me when I was down, brought sunshine to my rain
You also let me comfort you when you were feeling pain

There are no expectations; no demands that need to be met
Only a caring compassion that acts as a safety net

You need not promise that you’ll stay, cuz I know you always will
But if, perchance, our path should split, I know you’re with me still

And so I thank our God above for giving you to me
Forever in my heart and soul I know you’ll always be
