Friendship Starts Here

I always dreamed someone swell would turn up,
Who’d consider my feelings routinely,
Who would share lots of stuff without being gruff,
And if they disagreed would not do it meanly.

Then you came along and my wishes came true;
You’re a friend who I trust and I treasure.
You always give help and I know that you care;
You’re my friend and it gives me great pleasure.
We share so much of our lives
Our joy and also our pain.
Without you as my friend,
I just might go insane!

You know what I’m talking about;
You’ve been through big things, too.
Yet you cheer me when I’m happy,
You comfort me when I’m blue.

Your giving does not go unnoticed;
I’d be lost without you, friend.
What we have together
No one else can comprehend.
It's such a pleasure and a joy
To have a friend like you.
You always care, you're always there,
You say the right things, too!

You make me smile when I am low
You're just a pure delight.
We talk a lot about everything;
You make my life so bright!

I hope that I am giving you
Some joy and happiness,
Because you mean so much to me,
More than I can express!
Whether the day is good or bad,
Whether I'm feeling happy or sad,
If I have a need, you’ll comprehend;
You’ll be there to share and be a friend.

Other people may fill my day,
But never in such an important way;
We support each other ‘round all life’s bends,
It feels so good that we are friends.
Whenever my life feels empty,
Those times when I feel a lack,
I thank God for your special friendship,
Because I know you've got my back.

When I wonder about life's true meaning,
And whether it all makes sense,
With a word or a smile from you, friend,
I forget my silly laments.

I guess what I'm trying to say, friend,
Is with all your support and your giving,
You brighten each minute I'm with you,
And make every day well worth living.
