JAN
Afriend can be a neighbor,
someone down the street.
A friend can be someone
you have coffee with when you meet.
A friend can be someone
who calls you on the phone,
And a friend is always welcome
when she comes to your home.
Different friends have different needs
in our lives that they meet,
But I have a friend
who is especially neat!
For twenty years she's been
a special friend to me,
She's the 'perfect friend'
and I just want her to see
That I treasure the times
that we've spent together,
She's always been there
in any kind of weather.
No 'fair weather friend' is she,
you see,
She's laughed with , cried with,
and yes, she's also prayed with me!
In happy times, in sad times,
many secrets we've shared,
She's been closer than a sister,
and to her my heart I've bared.
Thanks Jan! and Happy Birthday!
You're someone special to me!
I pray we'll be friends
for all eternity!
