For when a "Thank You"
just won't do
This rose is just for
you
To lighten up you busy
day
and bring a friendly
smile your way
Always ready to share
a cup of tea
and offering your time
for free
Your'e my pick-me-up
when I'm in need
sharing some silly jokes
that's oh so sweet
You provide a healthy
dose of laughter
followed by some gentle
banter
A happy voice at the
end of the line
assuring me everything
will be just fine
You're an inspiration
for my ideas
with gentle persuasion
to overcome my fears
My pilliar of strength
when I am down
offering to help without
as much as a frown
A voice of reason in this
crazy world
a hand to hold until
we grow old
Your friendship is part
of a dying breed
my garden of friends
make my life complete.
