For life for me is better
Because I share your heart
This gift you gave a blessing
God's treasured work of art
The years we spend unending
Within each day's new dawn
Our friendship lasts forever
Even through worst storms
For you are there to hold me
With friendship and with love
A gift we shared since childhood
The treasures I think of
And yes we have our moments
When laughter fills the air
And then there are the sad times
When we know of life's despair
But for me you are the giver
The one who shares with all
No matter what the problem
You make them very small
So I am here to tell you
That life has been a lesson
But friendship that is golden
Is truly God's sweet blessing
You have been that spirit
That soars within my eyes
The light of every new day
As moments pass us by
Lest I have not told you
Within our path that binds
Our footsteps made together
Are golden paths defined
You are like the rainbow
With gentle colors strewn
Across my heart and spirit
That gives me life anew.
