With each season that passes into the next
you continued to walk beside me as my friend,
I dont ever recall taking the time to say thank you...
or to tell you what it means to call you my friend.

Did I ever tell you just how cherished our friendship is?
or how blessed I am to even have you as
my best friend? if not then the next time during a conversation,
I will.

When others have chosen to walk away
and turned their backs on me in the past,
you stayed behind and dealt with me no matter
how difficult of a person I was or could have been.

Let me say what I truly admire about you
is the strength that you have when it comes to
facing adversities, no matter what the stituation was. Sometimes
my friend..I wish I could be like you.

We have not always been there for each other
whenever a problem or any other difficult time arose
in our lives came about. From now on we will be there
to help each other through whatever comes our way.

If either of us should leave this world
when our time on Earth is through, I know that
we would want the other to carry on.. to remember the way it was,
the way it used to be.

My best friend let me say thank you for your friendship
for accepting me and not judging my faults, just for being you.
I want to tell that your friendship is a gift
that will be cherished always, today, tomorrow, forever.
