We've shared each other's lives
and grew together through the years,
but I had to stop and wonder
if my appreciation is clear.

It's so hard to put into words
what I feel for what we've shared,
but it's so nice to know,
I have a friend out there.

I've thanked you before,
but it couldn't be enough
for one who stood beside me
when the path was rough.

You were always there for me
with a way to make me smile.
You smoothed out the road
across every mile.

And perhaps no words can express
my heartfelt thanks to you,
but I want you to know
that I appreciate all you do.
