My Gift To You
(Dedicated to my good friend Noah Eaton)
by Randy Meador
11/23/01

I've often wondered what gift there could be
That would show how much you mean to me
So I searched the far reaches of my mind
But an answer to this I could not find

The wealth of the world is measured in gold
Nothing's more precious than diamond's were told
And paintings by all the artists of yore
Are priced at millions of dollars or more

But your friendship is worth much more to me
Than all of those things together would be
And if a value were put on your love
It would be a price to be in awe of

So much would it cost, that I'd have to say
Not even the wealthiest man could pay
If that be, so how could I afford
Any gift to show how much you're adored?

What I can give may seem meager and small
Although maybe it's priceless after all
When it comes to friendship, I'll do my part
And I'll give you all of the love in my heart.

a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
