It's funny how two people
can instantly be friends
and yet if asked, neither knows
just how did it begin?

It's odd to think that those you love
might also love you back
and even see the good things
that in ourselves we think we lack

I thought you were so awesome
each time you stood to share
the feelings deep within your heart
of our Saviors love and care

Each time you left me humbled
so in awe, and more impressed
there were no others like you
you stood out from all the rest

It's like I've always known you
we must have been friends long ago
who vowed to bless and help each other
on our journey here below

I've found such joy just being friends
you've taught me oh so much
I've learned what makes one beautiful
from your love, your words, your touch

I hope we're friends forever
no matter the time or the place
the kind you know you can count on
to forgive, your mistakes they erase

I've learned that trust has many levels
just like there's different kinds of love
each one requires you take more risk
then leave it in His hands above

It didn't matter what your age was
you're my best friend is all I know
the one I choose to share with
be it thoughts or tears that flow

It's impossible to try and form the words
that match the feelings in my heart
and express just what you mean to me
or how much I'll miss you when we're apart

I'll miss your quiet inner strength
your faith, that goes beyond your years
your smiles that lift me when I'm down
and give me hope to conquer fears

It's hard to smile and say good-bye
and be the one who's left behind
cause we've shared a friendship that is very rare
a more precious gift comes hard to find
