I'd like to be the sort of friend that

you have been to me;

I'd like to be the help that

you've been always glad to be;



I'd like to mean as much to you

each minute of the day

As you have meant, old friend of mine,

to me along the way.



I'd like to do the big things and

the splendid things for you,

To brush the gray from out your skies

and leave them only blue;



I'd like to say the kindly things that

I so oft have…

There is a miracle called Friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don't know how it happens
or when it even starts.

But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that Friendship
is God's most precious gift.
