Best friends

Sometimes when I am too depressed,
or drowning in self-doubt
I know that I can call your name
and you will pull me out.

You taught me I am worth much more
than what I'd always thought.
You gave me strength and confidence
that I so long had sought.

You showed me I am beautiful
both outside and within.
You proved I am not second best
time and time again.

One day I will return to you
all you have given to me.
I don't know in what shape or form
but I promise soon you'll see.

For richer or for poorer,
through the thick and the thin,
In sickness and health I can count on you
and I'm proud to call you, "Friend"
