~ I give to you ~ Some roses for the sweet perfume To kiss your senses with its bouquet A piece of a rainbow to color your world When all seems totally gray. ~ Author Unknown ~

Cherished Friend God must have known there would be times We'd need a word of cheer Someone to praise a triumph Or brush away a tear. He must have known we'd need to share The joy of "little things" In order to appreciate The happiness life brings. I think he knew our troubled hearts Would sometimes throb with pain At trials and misfortunes Or some goals we can't attain. He knew we'd need the comfort Of an understanding heart To give us strength and courage To make a fresh, new start. He knew we'd need companionship Unselfish...lasting...true, And so God answered the heart's great need With a CHERISHED FRIEND....like you. ~ Author Unknown ~
