Best Friend Afar By Kelly You’re a precious gift That God sent to me, A gift that I’ll cherish Forever, you’ll see. For a friend is a friend But what makes them “best”, Is the difference they show From all of the rest. When skies up above me Are cloudy and gray, I know that you some how Will brighten my day. And when I am anxious To share some good news, I know who I’ll tell It’s YOU I will choose! Through our journey in life Friends come and go, But you are forever This I do know. Though it may seem We are worlds apart, Please always know You are close in my heart!  Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |

KellSue, You should definitely check into writing greeting cards. This would make a great one! Your words are so sweet and full of caring. I really liked this one!

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
