And it seems
hard to climb
Your hand
will be in mine
I will hold
you closely
Walking side
by side
And if you
cannot make it
I'll carry
you with pride
For you have
been the reason
That I have
learned to say
It's
wonderful to know you
Through every
waking day
And the road
it may get harder
But when
all is said and done
I couldn't
have a better friend
For you are
next to none
Memories they
gather
Within the
heart they say
But moments
filled with treasures
They live
with us each day
So thank you
for the softness
The smile
that's always there
A word in
gentle passing
That always
keeps you near
Together for
a lifetime
Your presence
well defined
The miracle
of knowing
Our life has
been designed
For
friendship ever golden
It never
skips a beat
Footsteps
joined together
Shall never
know defeat.
