A Friend For All My Life (For Suzanne)


I have the                                            
      best friend                                       
forever                                   


You, I never had to search for. I never had to question my actions. I never had to wonder or be sure if I said the right thing. You never get tired of hearing a record being played over and over. You have shared my joys and held my hand through moments of sorrow. You laugh at my silly comments and dried my tears when they fell. You held your breath whenever I was ill and even came when they thought I wouldn't make it. You've got angry for me and went up to bat for me. You've kept me in mind when I was far away. You reminded me of who I was, you loved me when I had hatred for myself. You've told me off a few times for my own good. Knowing you're always there keeps me going, I can rest easy because of this too. You protect me from my ugly thoughts and give me hope to keep me going.  You cheer me on when I am lonely, and tell me when something or someone might be wrong for me. You steer me when I can't think straight and you help when I need help. When I can't do something physically, you lend a helping hand even when it is something small. When we go out I always have fun and sometimes we laugh at everything and go crazy.  You always have or always make time for me. You tell me when you're down and you let me share in your joys and sorrows. You tell me like it is even when it might hurt. We can always talk out differences and right the wrong. You always smile when you see me and I'm always glad to see you. Our childhood is filled with countless happy memories shared together. I am so grateful that I have a best friend like you. Thank you. I will always love you forever.

She accepts me -
faults, greatness
and all!
