My Forever Friend

To someone I’ve known
Nearly all of my life
Through the good and the bad
You’ve been by my side

Even though distance
Has Kept us apart
Our friendship’s as strong
As it was at the start

I admire your strength
And the love that you show
I admire you more
Than you’ll ever know

I speak of you often
To all of my friends
Telling them how
We’ll be friends to the end

The faith that we share
Is what binds us together
It helps us forever
The storms to weather

I’m sorry at times
I wasn’t around
When you needed me
I couldn’t be found

I am so thankful that
You willingly forgive
And treasure the way
That you choose to live

Putting God’s kingdom
First in your life
Working so hard
To be a good wife

You put others first
In all that you do
And I am so proud
To be friends with you.
