Dearest Friend

Our love is quite different, Not what you might expect, It's based on understanding And mutual respect We will never make demands The other cannot meet; Together, we face obstacles That are laid at our feet When our seas become stormy, Leaving us without defense, We're there for each other With love and common sense I try to ease the burdens That weigh on his heart and mind; He knows my thoughts...I know his, These are the ties that bind We each have obligations To which we must conform; I guide his footsteps on rough seas And help him ride the storm He gives me encouragement To face another day; He makes my life more bearable In some mysterious way We're separated.... but together, Far apart..... but yet so near; We're so good for each other, This friend that I hold dear How I love my dearest friend..... Most precious gift that God could send!
