God Sent Me a Friend

Many years ago, when I was small,
I had few relatives, almost none at all.
I learned to cherish friendships, at a very young age,
I chose and picked many, they could probably fill this page.

Some of them hurt me and treated me bad.
I kept on looking but began to feel sad.
My heart was breaking, will it ever mend?
Then at my lowest, God sent me a friend.

I knew that he sent her, I knew from the start.
He gave her such gifts, like music and art.
When she sings her song in her unique way,
She puts all the sunshine in my dreary day.

To tell her I love her would not be enough.
But trying to show her sometimes gets real rough.
With miles between us, I can't always be,
They’re when she's hurting and really needs me.

But when I'm at my lowest and hurting within.
She sends me a letter and puts herself in.
She says that she owes me, but that isn't true .
She gave me so much, if she only knew.
