You came into my life
With the first of many smiles
Quite amazing how much distance
Separated us by many miles

The kind of friend, I can't comprehend
How fortunate that I met you
I introduced myself and said
"Hi, my name is Sue"

We have so much in common
A love of music that's so grand
Such sadness and grief we'd both been through
On the other hand

We shared our thoughts and feelings
With such ease and gratitude
You always sensed my feelings, my anxieties, my moods

Although I cannot see you
And probably never will
Your warm and ever caring heart
Manages to shine through still

Such friendship is so hard to find
A gift I treasure so
Sharing so much for many hours
Not wanting to be the first to go

At times I feel I've know you
For ever and a day
How kind you are, so thoughtful
With the things you have to say

How fondly I'll remember
Times I've shared my thoughts with you
How easily you'd listen
Through the times that I'd feel blue

So let me just say "thank you"
For the warmth you radiate
And I hope our friendship grows
At a very steady rate

How very glad was I
To have met someone like you
So selfless and so caring
Always willing to share your view

So if ever you feel troubled
Or are just feeling a little down
Just know you can depend on me
Call me, I'll be around

What a wonderful clasping of hands and hearts in friendship.

This is simply lovely.
Anyone sharing your friendship would be fortunate indeed.
