My Best Friend

by Brandie White Partin - Capricorn

When I need a friend to talk to
You're just a phone call away;
When I need a shoulder to cry on
You always say it's okay.
You know the way I feel-
It's like you can read my mind;
Our friendship means alot to me
Because good friends are hard to find.
The kind that will sit and listen
Or give advice when you need them to;
Someone to say you can count on-
That person just happens to be you.
You know where I'm coming from
Because you've been through it before;
You're not just any friend-
You mean a great deal more.
You're the only one I can rely on
To be there through thick and thin;
With a best friend like you 
I know I'll always win.
The daily trials I go through 
Seem to get harder everyday;
But with you to always turn to
I now can honestly say:
No matter what the time of day
There's one thing I can always do;
I can pick up the phone and call
Because my best friend is you.

Reason for writing:

    This was written to my sister-in-law, Reta, because no matter what problems I'm having, I can always talk to her.  She understands what I'm going through because she has dealt with many of the same problems.  So this was just a small way to tell her thanks for always being there for me.
