We have some friends that we both share, whom God has given us
And we both love them all, but there is one thing that we trust
Our friendship that we hold so tight and never will let go
Is such a rare occurrence, not just everyone will know
Some forty years ago, we came into each other’s lives
We both loved playing cards, that's when our husbands joined the jives
You worked out; I worked from home, which helped your daycare needs
Then soon the flowers bloomed, where God had planted all the seeds
Your mom would call us sisters; I’m the one you never had
And we’ve lived up to that, in all the good times and the bad
We raised our kids together; even granddaughters are close
Could we see it one more time, with “greats?” only God knows
You are more than just unique; My best of all of the rest
I know you, better than you, so I know I’ve been blessed
Another forty years, I hope to sense your loving touch
Besides, I need to keep you near, ’cause you know way too much
