My Friend

You gave me words of kindness
Tied with a ribbon of gold,
Hearing them was important
To heal my heart and soul

Your gift of words made a difference
When I was down and blue,
Questioning why I bother,
Doing what I do.

Life can be a challenge
Sometimes it seems unfair,
But when I was tired and struggling
It helped that you were there.

What can I give you in return
Your friendship is so dear,
Please know if you ever need me
I will always be here.

Kind words and time are needed
By people everywhere,
When wrapped with a smile or a hug
They're a gift that says I care!
