Thanks

Dear Lord, you know I have no choice but pray
When such a special friend has come my way,
The grace I feel when being close to her…
I feel your hand when such good things occur.

Please help me not to dwell on where this goes,
For now- you are the only one who knows,
And that is how I know things ought to be…
This special friendship quite enough for me.

Please help this dreamer learn that letting go
Is the best act of love that I could show.
Forget my needs and let me be the kind
Of friend for her that you would have in mind.

I think of all that she and I’ve been through
And know that she is thinking of this too,
Such troubled lives, but with such promise now
Please help me make her happy God, somehow.

Please help me never lose this grateful heart
And keep me thankful for each tiny part
My lucky soul has played with such a friend…
The kind I know that only you could send.

John H. Bidwell

She is the lucky one to have a friend who cares enough to write how you feel .. Friends are so hard to keep these days.. Everyone wants one.. But no one wants to BE one. You always inspire me!!!

Always,
