This is for you my friend
You, who are always there for me.
Beside me when I'm up
Pushing me up when I'm down.

Praising my talents
Strengthening my faults
Listening to me, in silence
Letting me grieve as long as I need.

Teaching me to be all that I can
Letting me fall, but giving me the courage
To pick myself up
And give it another try.

Our thoughts often cross
Before our paths cross.
We are aware of the presence of each other
On an earthly level and beyond.

As years go by and our senses dim
It is then that we shall truly "see"
The depth and strength of our friendship.

As our hearts beat more slowly
Our souls begin to shine more brightly
Heading toward the path
To eternal friendship and love.

Thank you for sharing this journey
With me, my friend.
You have helped make the path easier to walk,
And your love and support have made my life whole.
