Friends for Life

1993. Becoming best friends with Jan.

Thoughts of the soul,
Shared with compassion,
Everlasting trust in a
Common goal.
Always forgiving,
Ever building,
True friends for life.

Loyalty,
Hearts in communion.
Mutual union built on a
Sympathy.
Growing together,
Through whatever,
True friends for life.

As sorrow demands that someone would care,
So joy commands that its joy be should be shared.
Iron sharpens iron to strength in the end, and so
Faithful and good are the wounds of a
Friend for life.
A patient and caring
Sanctuary
Formed as we’re
Sharing strife,
Always protecting,
Not neglecting
True friends for life.

As water reflects the face of a man
So a man’s heart can be shown by his friend.
And if I am molded by what I love, it’s you;
You’ve taught me lovingly how to be

Friends for life,
Encouraged to be
What we should be,
Committed to
Make things right.
Sacred companion,
Take my hand;
We’ll be friends for life.
