Gift of a Friend

What would I do without you
My tried and trusted friend?
You're always there beside me
As along life's roads we wend.

Your warm and loving nature;
Your kind and generous heart;
These are the characteristics
I admired in you from the start.

You're like a ray of sunshine,
Which lightens the darkest day.
You never fail to cheer me up
When dark clouds pass my way.

You always find time to care,
In the midst of all you do,
And every day I'm so thankful
For the gift of a friend like you.
