Thank You, Sweet Lady!

You are truly beautiful, as much inside as out,

You are one of a kind for there’s no doubt.

You’ve been to me, a most cherished friend,

So this is for you, all of my love I send

I will miss you dearly and call you often

But when the tears do stream, my voice will soften

And I’ll think to myself just what you would say,

How you'd answer my prayers, each time that I prayed

A part of my family, from which you can’t shake,

A pea in a pod, a snow falling flake

Forsake me never, the truest of you,

A beautiful friendship from two strangers grew,

A friendship like this I’ll never forget

For a friendship like this, I'd hold my breath

and count each moment you touched my heart

together forever and never apart

So thank you, sweet lady, for all you have been.

And I thank God too for my most cherished friend,

That I ever might find, in this life or any

One of a kind, the greatest of many!
