I knew from the first time I met you that one thing was for sure... and that thing was that we were going to be friends forever.

I love listening to you talk... for somehow you have a way of reaching my soul... and making me feel good inside.
       I love the way you always seem to bring out the best in people when you are around them... the way you have of accepting people for just being themselves.

 I love the way you leave the front porch light of your soul on... even though I know there are times you have been hurt... you still trust. I admire that more than you know...

I love the way your life has a way of defining what a true friend really is... you accept me with all my faults and unpredictable life at times...you do not demand anything... you simply are there. Always with an encouraging word...a smile... and you keep the faith in me when at times, I seem to have misplaced mine.

I love the way you seem to know what I am thinking...what I am feeling... and you do not judge... you simply listen and let me know that things will work out. And you always are there... standing in the wings applauding my feeble efforts at times... and then when I do succeed... I realize that part of the success is really yours...for all those times when you said, "Come on you can do it. I know you can." You remind me of the little engine that could...

I love the way you always believe the best...even when confronted with the worst... you are in simple words... my hero.

And you know what... when I think of the word "forever", I think of you too. For I know that in this life we are truly blessed with friends. And when the friend is you there is one of life's most precious and cherished gifts.

I am most thankful when God thought of friends in my life... He gave me you.
