~ Cherished Friendship ~

Your friendship grows more cherished
With every passing day...
Seems I often can't find words
For what I wish to say.

The joy you bring to others,
Creates an inner glow...
It spreads so quickly to my heart
And it can't help but show.

I thank my God for you, dear friend,
Your presence here is treasured...
There is no yardstick long enough
By which our friendship's measured.

You transcend all thoughts,
For it's feelings that you share,
I feel the love, from you to me,
While I'm here, and you are there!
