Friendship

by Don Matley


You are a very special friend of mine
Whether with me or not, always together in time
Your spirit lifts me when I am down
Nothing is better than your being around

You're silly, you're funny, you have such a flare
There's nothing you won't do no matter the dare,
And I like to think that when you are a bit sad
That I'm there for you to make you feel glad.

Good friendships are rare and often don't last
But ours is enduring and really a blast,
While not always smooth and with a bump once in a while
There's no doubt in my mind , we'll always be in style.

I can be moody and quiet and sensitive too
But I can never prevent always thinking of you,
So make no mistake no matter how far apart
You're a dear friend in deed and in my heart.

And when you are happy, well so am I
And when you are not, I too want to cry,
But no matter what happens in life down the road
I will always be near, and ready to ease your load

So now my friend I will end this song to you
As I have many other things that I must do,
But please never for a moment think me unkind
Whether with you or not, you are always in my mind.

Refreshing to read about friendships that last.

A fitting, wonderfully written tribute.

A wonderfully fitting sentiment to express to a close friend. (I think as a society we'd be better off letting those we feel close to know of our appreciation and love more often.)
