Best Friends


We are always together although we’re apart
Best friends forever right from the start
Never departing when one stands in need
Good friends are loyal in work and in deed

When I’m in trouble you’ve always been there
Sweeping the pieces of pain and despair
Finding a path when I’ve lost my way
Cheering me up when I’m in dismay

A shoulder to cry on, you soak up my tears
Your patient forgiving has softened the years
For all that you’ve done and all that you do
My life is now better.  I owe it to you
