This friendship, I hold dear to me,
I know that it is unique.
With you, I am myself; completely free,
Whether I am strong or weak.
We never really had to work at it,
It just came so naturally.
Our friendship is indefinite,
We are in harmony.
So rather it is 5, 10 or 20 years,
We will always be in touch.
To share our life's challenges, happiness,
And our fears,
Because our Friendship means so much.
No matter what we do, sissy...I love you always
Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our
deepest feelings, becomes a
storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and
what we want to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we
thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to see,
to feel and to share all the reason,
all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective
to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of
our special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.
You showed me that I'm beautiful
both inside and out.
You proved that I'm not second best
time and time again.
One day I will return to you all
you've given me.
I don't know in what time or form,
But I promise soon you'll see.
For richer, for poorer,
in sickness, in health,
thought all of the thick and thin,
I trust I can always count on
you and I'm proud to call you a friend.
