A lovely friend that you are 
You've been there from the start 
Regardless of everything 
Never will we part 
A life of pure friendship is all one ever needs , 
To be without you is like my life without me 
So my friend I am proud to say 
Thank you for leading me along the way 
Not only did you keep me together & at my best 
You taught me that true friendship will NEVER rest . 
So keep this in your heart , for I have awoken
The words of a friend that you have chosen .
