so precious and rare,

is the forever friendship

the two of us share.

Planted with kindness,

it's warmed by the sun

of caring and sharing,

laughter and fun.

It's grounded in trust

and nurtured by love,

with a sprinkling of grace

from God up above.

Tears of sadness and joy,

like dew,

renew this friendship

I share with you.

And in the heart's garden,

we find the room

to be ourselves,

to grow and bloom.

A blessing

of beauty unsurpassed,

our friendship's a flower

that will always last.
