Friends

I hope you know the joy you bring me
I hope you know how beautiful you are
I hope you know what light you give
The shining sun, a constant star

There are days when I forget to say
Exactly what you mean to me
But day in, day out, rain or shine
My friend you’ll always be

And I hope that I can give it back
This love that you have shared.
Each moment I can give to you,
Each fragile gift I spared.

The good within your very soul
Has brought me to your light
And my own goodness, large or small
Is insignificant in your sight

But there is that within you
Which deserves a friend with heart
So I’ll strive each day to be her
And we’ll both do our part

For friendship is what both can give
A push, a pull to share
And together in this motion
We’ll lift the world, a pair
