“A Friend Like You”
*this is to a very special person. she knows
who she is!


Often times in life important words go unspoken
Things that should be said are simply ignored
People are afraid sometimes if the words are heard
The magic will somehow be broken

You and I are different
We share a friendship that is real and true
Always around when I seem to need you
I am blessed to have a friend like you

Your heart you try to protect
It shines through though in all you say and do
I felt it was time you got the credit you deserved
That I spoke how I felt, that you knew

Not just an “Internet” friend
You have etched an eternal place in my heart
I think our friendship was something special
Right from the very start

It is my hope that friends we will always be
Cheering me up when I’m blue
In case something ever makes us part
Just please know I’m forever grateful to have a friend like you

Your laughter lights up my day
The chats we have, both serious and funny
Serve to remind me something important
That blue sky can be mixed in with gray

If ever you need a friend
Do not think twice on whom to call
If ever someone should hurt you
I’ll be there to catch you if you fall
