Mary's Son, Chris
(More Recent Picture)

     A best friend 
     is always there, 
     whether you need advice, 
     or a pep talk, 
     or even a shoulder to cry on.    
     A best friend 
     listens with her heart 
     and is always honest with you, 
     even though the truth 
     may not be 
     what you want to hear. 
     A best friend 
     knows all your secrets, 
     understands your fears 
     shares your dreams. 
     A best friend 
     never stops believing in you 
     even if you give up 
     on yourself. 
     you are 
     that kind of friend 
     to me. 
     And no matter what happens, 
     you always will be. 
     You are my best friend.... 
     my forever friend.
