The friend i have in you

I have shared with you the sadness in my life,
I have shared with you the joy.

Your listening helps me to hear my own thoughts,
your insight helps me to understand my problems,
and your patience helps me to accept my faults.

You know when I need your advice,
and you sense when I simply need you to be there.

Everything I could ever want in a friend
I have ...
in you.
