Dear friend, reach out with your hand in kindness so I
shall not fear your touch.
Speak softly to me so that harsh words do not fall
upon my ears.
Give me gentle guidance so I may please you and make
you proud.
Spend time with me so I do not suffer from a lonely
heart.
But above all, love me in the way that I love you,
unconditionally and forever.
For I shall be watching over you and those that you
love such that no harm shall ever come your way.
I will be here to lean on when you feel it is you
against the world, but you will never be alone.
I will walk into the darkness with you and lead you
back into the light.
I will show you what joy can be found in the simple
pleasures that help create memories, because making memories are what matter.
They truly are the only things that last.
Together we shall share a bond that is unbreakable,
stronger than steel but as gentle as a light breeze that brushes the cheek.
For you are my best friend and I will walk by your
side for all of my days … until the last beat of my heart.
