You have been
such a true friend
to me,
understanding
and truer than most
have cared to be ...

You reached out
to help me
during a
very hard time ...
You included me
as family
which touched
my heart
I felt so much
that I'd
surely made
it to prime time ...

You did
what my own
family wouldn't do ...
a home, love
and people
who cared
and it was then
that I knew ...

I found
a true angel
in this cold
hard place ...
You fed me
and gave me
trust and love
along with
my own
little space ...

My beautiful friend
I cannot ever
thank you
enough
for everything
that you've done ...
If not for
you and
your heart
I would've
been out there
and cared
for by none ...

You gave
me a life
and a home
that I needed
so much ...
I just needed
someone
to show
me a
gentle touch ...

You never
judged me
or made
me feel bad ...
You always
encouraged me
especially
when I
became sad ...

When I was
unable to help
and business
was stopped
and slow ...
You let me stay
and gave me
every opportunity
to remain here
and grow ...

You were there
when my health
went downhill ...
That's when
I started
realizing my dream
that you told
me I was
good enough
to fulfill ...

You rejoiced
for me
when I finally
met a good man ...
It truly felt
like my life
had again
just began ...

You've done
for me what
has never
been done ...
The angel
God sent me
that out did
almost everyone ...

I'm grateful
and thankful
you're not
finished with me ...
It scared me
to death when
I thought
this was true,
I couldn't believe
that you wanted
me from
my home
to flee ...

I gave
such a huge
sigh of relief ...
when you told
me not to
worry at all
and I took
your word
and there went
all of my grief ...

Our friendship
is so priceless
to me from then
to this very day ...
I thank God
for you always
and for you
I daily pray ...

For God
to bestow
as many
blessings
on you
as He can ...
I don't know
what I'd do
without you
in my life's plan ...

I just want
to end this
and say
one more thing ...
Thank you
for being
my bestest
friend
and for
taking me
under your wing ...
