February 19th, a sweet harmony, Best Friends Day, a cherished symphony. In a world that rushes, loud and unkind, You stand by my side, a treasure I find. A confidant and a light, in shadows you stay, The family I've chosen, come what may. You know my secrets, the silence I keep, The times I pretend and possibly the nights I can’t sleep. With just one word, you see through my guise, The flicker of truth in the depth of my silence. Our bond is a canvas painted in hues, Of trust and of moments we choose. Through differences bold, we grow and we learn, A friendship so dear, it constantly burns. Money can’t buy what we have come to share, A connection unbroken, a love so rare and fair. Through heartaches and triumphs, through happiness band despair, You’re the gift I hold close, beyond all compare. Give me another life time, I will pray we cross path, For with a second with you drowns life's wrath. I say these words, for as long as I respire, You will never lack a shoulder nor hand to inspire
