For Retta!

I salute you now, my true good friend
It's the least that I can do
For I wouldn't be here writing now
If it hadn't been for you

It's a wondrous thing how your friends help out
When you least expect them to
In a time of need, they are by your side
And that is what true friends do

And so this little thank you poem
Is especially for you
And I thank my lucky stars-
That I've a friend who is 'true blue'!
