My Life-long Friend
Friendship, an ongoing process:
Of encouragement and support...
Of caring and sharing...
Of respect and consideration...
Of trust and honesty...
Of being and becoming...
Of embracing and letting go...
Of change and renewal...
Of endings and new beginnings...
Of growth and discovery...
Of being tested and challenged...
Of bringing out the best in one another...
Of having to work it through.
This and more, over the years...
I've come to know with you.
A true friend you've been.
And I just want to take this moment to...
thank you.
