Friends Forever My loyal companion from across the sea This is a loving tribute to you from me See yourself through this friend's eyes The real you with no protective disguise You have a kind soul full of gentleness Giving all of yourself....nothing less Expressing concern when something is wrong Lending your strength so that I can be strong There to make me smile when I am feeling down Your laughter and humor wipe away my frown Thoughtful, sensitive, and generous too Traits shown often by the things you do You work hard each day and do your part For your small family; keepers of your heart My family and I enjoy our contact with you Learning about your life and your country too Distance does not change the bond we share Our words and actions show how much we care It is truly an honor to be considered your friend A blessing that few things in life can transcend When you need me, simply reach out your hand Friends forever across all time, seas, and land Copyright© March 1999 Lisa Jo Ewert
