But as the tears flow from my heart,
As my soul is clutched by deep despair…
I know my friends are standing by
With words of love, support and care.
I cannot yet summon a smile…
Cannot accept what has to be.
But I can thank my caring friends
For their loving words of sympathy.
Thank you, friends, for all you give
To help relieve my sorrow…
For though I grieve and though tears fall,
You give me hope for a new tomorrow.
I shall make it through this time of grief,
For in my heart he shall still abide.
And though he’s missed, I shall continue on
Because my friends stand by my side.
Thank you, friends, for all you do
To lead me from the dark.
Dearest friends who share with me
Words of wisdom from the heart!
