Heart of Gold

This is written for a dear friend of mine, and every word true .

For you Kelly

I call myself a rich man
Though not with treasure I can hold
I’m rich because I have a friend
That has a heart of gold

It’s so hard not to let it show
Though many times she’s tried
It’s hard to do, for hearts of gold
Are very hard to hide

If she hears someone in trouble
You can bet she will be there
For when you have a heart of gold
It’s so hard not to care

Countless hours we have talked
Times I will not forget
You are among the best of friends
That I have never met

My feelings should be plain to see
Within these words I’ve penned
I’m thankful God has blessed me with
The chance to call you friend

Jack, you never fail to astound me with the brilliance of your meter, I read this through three times challenging myself to find a line that was even half a syllable out (don't try that with mine you'll be there all night noting the mistakes!) and I failed dismally! Well done my friend, well done!
