Once in a while you find a friend
Who loves you right from the start,
And the friendship is so true and right
It warms your deepest heart.

“Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.” – Oscar Wilde

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it’s the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friend.”

Sometimes it’s hard to write the words
That you, my dear, should see.
Or say the things that you need to hear,
Or be as I should be.

Friends are special and so hard to find,
Those that smile and are always so kind…

My friend, I will never let you down.
I will put a smiles where there was a frown…

I hope you woke up this morning with a big smile on your face,
I hope the sun is shining just for you
and the birds are singing their very best songs…
