Once in a while a person graces your life
Someone you never thought would
A person who brings joy and happiness
More than you thought a person could

You bring laughter to a tired old soul
A breath of fresh air in the stillness of life
Your smile beams like the rays of the sun
And brings warmth to a soul in strife

Your eyes sparkle like the stars of heaven
In them are hope, peace and love
Always brightly shining each day
But always as gentle and caring like a dove.

I thank you for letting me call you "Friend"
For I see in you something special and great
A soul blessed beyond doubt
A friend who is true and has no hate

Beautiful poem! And wonderful dedication
to your friend. You and your friend are
very lucky to have found one another.
Friendships are the essence of life! I
enjoyed reading this very much!
Take care.

Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

This is a beautiful tribute to a friend. I too am fortunate enough to have discovered a friend such as this in my life~~~~~~~~one that has literally saved my life because she loved me.  So this poem was very special to me.  It was very beautiful.
