| You may not know how much or how long, But I have deep respect for you beyond words. Though I feel us falling away in our friendship and I feel us drifting... Just know these things I wanted to say...- You changed my heart in many ways, You stood by me and understood me, When it seemed the world shut me out. You taught me how important it is to stick by a friend no matter what, To always be there to offer a smile You taught me how to understand things, me on my own could never understand You showed my faults, even when I didn't know any existed You showed me unspeakable kindness, You loved me and held my hand, even when you had every right to hate me. For all these things I say thanks Thanks for the ride of my life in this friendship I love and look up to you until I draw my last breathe. Randel Copyright � 2002 Randel D. Parlin |
