You came to me when needed
your words rang loud and clear
across the bridge of friendship
did dry my every tear
Never did you judge me
'stead reached out with your hand
showed new light, gave courage
helped me understand
Along the way I've stumbled
mistakes, I too have made
but had no understanding
of games that people play
Hearts are torn and shattered
'n souls curl up and die
feel misused, unwanted
are left alone to cry
You and I, like sisters
our minds work much alike
sharing pain 'n laughter
since we met that night
Uncertainties still linger
'n perhaps I'll fall again
but have no doubt I'll make it
because of you, my friend
Thank you so much for being my friend!
