Friendship's Tapestry
So often when I think of you and all
the times we shared My heart is filled with
thankfulness to have a friend who cared
Enough to listen to me tell of joys and trials.
You're being there has been enough to
change my tears to smiles.
The subtle love between two friends is
so hard to define. It is not a square or
circle or even a straight line. It's somehow
like a tapestry with colors soft and bold
Yet deep within the weaving there are tiny
threads of gold.
Yes, rare and oh so lovely Are your
friendships' threads of gold.
For they will last a lifetime and then when
my story's told. Someone will hold my
tapestry and turn it towards the light,
And tiny points, those threads of gold
will gleam and shine so bright. And they
may think - it's just a thread like green or
red or blue- Perhaps they'll never ever
know that golden thread was you.
But I've been thinking lately how you've
touched my life just so - Of how you are
so dear to me - and I wanted you to know-
That even if you're next to me or though
we're miles apart Your golden thread of
friendship still will weave within my heart
