So often when I think of you and
all the times we shared,
my heart is filled with thankfulness to
have a friend who cared
enough to listen to me tell of joys and
trials.
Your being there has been enough to change my tears to
smiles.
The subtle love between two friends is so hard to
define.
It is not a square or circle or even a straight
line.
It's somehow like a tapestry with colors soft and
bold,
yet deep within the weaving, there are tiny threads of
gold.
Yes, rare and oh so lovely
are your friendships' threads of gold.
For they will last a lifetime, and then, when my story's
told;
Someone will hold my tapestry and turn it towards the
light,
and tiny points, those threads of gold will gleam and shine so bright.
And
they may think - it's just a thread like green or red or blue -
Perhaps they'll never ever know that golden thread was you.
But I've been
thinking lately how you've touched my life just so -
Of how you
are so dear to me - and I wanted you to know -
That even if
you're next to me or though we're miles apart,
your golden thread of friendship still will weave
within my heart.
