My friend took hold my hand,
and said, come walk with me,
We'll travel down this winding path
that only we can see.

None knows where it will lead,
we're in God's loving care,
He blesses with a friendship
eternal love to share.

We'll pause to rest a while
upon a cosy bench,
With much to catch up on
that words can never quench.

Our talk to dance in sheer delight
like gossamer sweet kiss,
Velvet touch of richness
moments of shared bliss.

Sip golden tea in clear glass mugs
steam sweet aroma in the air,
Teddy fluff, all sorts of stuff
crafty bits to share.

My friend more precious than a book
of tender preparation
So many chapters to enjoy,
with no final separation.

The tune of friendship playing as
a never ending song
Sad notes and then happy ones
for two to play along.

Sharing very special secrets
an opinion, grief or laugh,
A silence, soft and beautiful
upon our pretty path.

There maybe much we need to do,
in time and place, apart,
But, together as forever friends
love keeps us close in heart.

I thank God for you
my Faithful Friend

I thank my God everytime I remember you
In all my prayers for all of you,
I always pray with joy.
Philippians 1:3&4
