Sweet Cherie Sweet Cherie, you are so beautiful to me Not just physically, but in every sense of the word. You have a kind nature, a caring spirit A heart of gold with morals, similar to my own. You are strong and courageous, you inspire me to no end! You are such a good friend. And that�s why I�m wishing, birthday greetings With love never-ending, sharing with your daughter. Oh Hayley, what a gift she is for you, and all who are blessed to know her We�re all blessed, for knowing the both of you. May this year�s birthday, be extra special for you As you realize, how very special you are, to Andrew and I. Whenever I�m low, and I need someone to believe in me I just turn to you, and you make my gray skies turn blue. Whenever I struggle, and I cry, and I don�t know why I can�t do more than I can? You remind me of the courage I already have, In how far I�ve come You�re such a positive force in my life. I will miss you so much, when you move up North But I understand, you have to go, and with you, goes my support We�ll continue to be friends, the e-mailing kind The holiday type, but it will work out, you�ll see Coz the gift of friendship, I have with you, is rare, true and treasured For no matter the distance, our hearts will always be entwined. Our spirits too as we think of each other, in love And send happy vibes back and forth. For Cherie, you are like a little sister to me Whom I care so much for, and reach out to help you grow But you do the same for me too. We have a great balance between us, respecting each other�s space And allowing to develop in our own time, own way, own days. You�re such a blessing to my life, and you know If I were richer, I�d give you so much But coz I�m not, my gift is made, straight from the heart These words of love presented beautifully I hope fill your spirit with joy In knowing the happiness you�ve brought me. Happy birthday my sweet Cherie, your name suits you perfectly. � Elizabeth 10th September 2001 "This poem I wrote for one of my dearest, and closest of friends, sweet Cherie. She's a beautiful woman whom, if you have the pleasure to meet, or know her, you know you've been touched by an angel. She's a real blessing in my life. And I'm honoured to put this poem about her into my site. Thanks Cherie, for your loyalty, love and compassion. Enjoy this poem, not just a framed display in your home, but now in my site too, my sweetest Cherie"
