WE'RE BLESSED IN THIS LIFE,
WITH FRIENDS PRECIOUS AND FEW,
BUT IN A TIME OF NEED,
THE GOOD LORD SENT ME YOU.
TO LEND ME A SHOULDER,
WHEN I FELT I COULD CRY,
TO GIVE ME SOME HOPE,
AND NEVER ASK WHY.
YOU SAT THERE AND LISTENED,
LIKE A GOOD FRIEND WOULD,
YOU OFFERED ME COMFORT,
IN ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD.
YOU LENT ME A SMILE,
WHEN I'D LOST MY OWN,
AND NOW WHEN I'M LONELY,
I'M NEVER ALONE.
FOR YOU SHARE YOUR WISDOM,
WITH SUCH WARMTH AND CHEER,
AND I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW,
HOW I LOVE YOU MY DEAR.
THERE'S A PLACE IN MY HEART,
AND YOUR ALWAYS THERE,
THIS FRIENDSHIP OF OURS,
IN A LIFETIME IS RARE.
YES, FRIENDS IN MY LIFE,
HAVE BEEN PRECIOUS AND FEW,
SO I THANK GOD FOR SENDING,
AN ANGEL LIKE YOU.
