Your scent hangs in the air long after you leave
You caresses my thoughts like a cool summer breeze
You have a way about you that speaks quality and style
That shows in your eyes and mouth when you smile
You love beautiful things yet don’t see that you are one
When trouble strikes you stand and don’t run
You are my friend - you have shown me yourself
So I would journey by you through heaven and hell
For when this life - that I know - must end
Then let it be while - I’m with you – my friend
For a true friend is a treasure precious and rare
A gift you gave to me – without rancor or care
But freely and with joy with light and with love
As if sent directly from the heavens above
And if time itself should wither and die
Then I will have known true friendship and go with a smile
