Dedicated to a very special Friend - Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth

So much we’ve done together in our friendship over the years,
So much we’ve shared together, both happiness and tears,
How good the Lord has been to us, and this special gift of love
is the greatest gift He could bestow from His blessings up above.

Nothing is more wonderful than the gift of a real, true friend
who stands by you through thick and thin, until the very end,
And in this age we live in, when life goes by so fast,
It’s good to know our friendship is one which will always last.

We’ve both had many trials and at times found things hard to bear,
We’ve both found life can be lonely, and we’ve often felt despair,
Yet in spite of all the problems, and the things which have caused so much pain
There’s so much for us to be thankful for, and so much we still have to gain.

I thank God for the friendship He’s given us to share,
I thank Him, for this quality of friendship is quite rare,
Not many have a dear close friend, as I’ve had, at their side,
No-one to put their trust in, in whom they can confide.

And thank you, too, my special friend, for all you mean to me,
For all your kindness, understanding and your sympathy,
And though it’s always hard to part – it causes so much pain,
It won’t be long until once more we’ll see each other again.
