Special Friend

            Dear God, how do I thank You,

For a very special friend?

I think I’ll start when I met her,

And go from there until the end.

            I met her quite by accident,

After church one day,

I had always admired her singing,

Listened to what she made the keyboard say.

            My mom was at a church meeting,

So I went in the choir stand,

And I listened to them sing,

About joining the Christian band.

            So then I joined the choir,

Went to practice to,

We were still strangers.

Our relationship still brand new.

            Then I found out something,

She liked to give hugs as well as me,

I also met her sister,

And together we became three.

            Three friends who loved to sing,

Praises to our God,

Two people whom I could turn to,

When my life got hard.

            So then I found my sister,

And I left for a few months’ time,

But then I came back,

And wrote some stupid rhymes.

            Who read my stupid rhymes?

Only my friend of old,

She wrapped me in her arms tight,

For my spirit was cold.

            Then I found an aunt,

Who lived pretty close by,

After a few months, I did something awful,

It actually made me cry.

            I poured my heart out to my friend,

Longing for internal peace,

I got that and forgiveness,

As I told my story piece-by-piece.

            Then we became sisters,

And so I made a new phrase,

We were S.I.C., Sisters In Christ

‘Til the end of our days.

            So, God, how do I thank You,

For my special friend?

I’ll just keep on thanking You,

Until the very end.
