This is for you

I'd like to be the sort of friend thatyou have been to me;

I'd like to be the help thatyou've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to youeach minute of the day

As you have meant, old friend of mine,to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and the splendid things for you,

I'd like to say the kindly things thatI so often have heard from you,

And feel that I could rouse your soulthe way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy that you have given me,

Yet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be.

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,

who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours with you tolean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that Icould but repay A portion of the gladness thatyou've strewn along my way.

And could I have one wish this year,this only would it be,

I'd like to be the sort of friendthat you have been to me.

Dedicated to Fozia N and Linn W.

Yours forever
