A Gift From God

I have a friend
Who knows me best.
He sees through the smiles,
And he knows the rest.

He's strong and brave,
OH! And he's awesome too.
I love him to death,
He knows that's true.

He helps me more
Than he may know.
He's there by my side
To help me grow.

A friend like this
Isn't easy to find,
So I plan to keep him
Never leave him behind.

He knows my past
He's pulled me through.
He's picked me up
Often carried me too.

He's a gift from God
And proof to me,
To just open your eyes,
A miracle you will see.

Helping me through
The worst of my days.
Making me feel better,
In so many ways.

I can't imagine life
Without him by my side,
To pull me though
Dry the tears that I cried.

Words often limit
What is truly on my mind
I want to say so much to you
But the perfect words i can't find.

It's not enough
But thanks so much
I just wouldn't be the same
Without your healing touch.

You've picked me up
Told me what's true.
I want you to know,
I'd do the same for you.

I have this friend,
He's the best you'll ever find.
You better watch out!
'Cuz he is all mine!

He's always read
To do whatever he can.
He's MY chica,
MY silly goose, MY gingerbread man.
