My Friend

Many people come and go
Not all that touch you
You my friend have touched me deep
A stirring in my soul

When I'm down and misery hits
You are the one I count on
A cheerful smile, encouraging word
And soon I'm feeling better

When I'm wrong and really mess up
You are there to support me
Never once do you criticise
A sign of true friendship

So when I lay late at night
Staring at the ceiling
My thanks I give to the Lord
For sending me your friendship

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am, you've got a friend - not my words, but my thoughts

"The only way to have a friend is to be one."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am sure you are considered the best among friends whom you have plenty. Here is to friends whom we should hold with both hands and never let go!
