So often when I think of you
and all the times we've shared,
My heart is filled with thankfulness
to have a friend who cared.
You've listened to me tell of joys
and listened to my trials
Your being there has been enough
to change my tears to a smile.
The subtle love between two friends
is so hard to define.
It is not a square or circle
or even a straight line.
It's somehow like a tapestry
with colors soft and bold,
Yet deep within the weaving
there are tiny threads of gold.
Yes, rare and oh so lovely
are your friendship threads of gold.
For they will last a lifetime
and then when my story's told
Someone will hold my tapestry
and turn it towards the light,
and tiny points,
those threads of gold,
will gleam and shine so bright.
And they may think it's just a thread
like green or red or blue.
Perhaps they'll never ever know
that golden thread was you.
But I've been thinking lately
how you touched my life just so
Of how you are so dear to me
And I wanted you to know-
That even if you're next to me
or though we're miles apart,
Your golden thread of friendship
still will weave within my heart.
