I have known too many hurts

Borne the brunt of pain alone

And never understood the whys

and the wherefore

Of all the suffering I've known

 

And in the midst of much despair

In the middle of all the tears

When hope has fled and darkness reigned

Have you been the most dearest friend

 

So here's to friendship

To love and caring shared by you and me

To all the unseen gifts carried by hands
