No present could bring more joy to open, Then the one filled with your smile.

How sad it would be,to be blind. To never have seen your smile. I remember the first time I heard your voice, a sound I
never tire.

Every time you cross my mind, I think how lucky I've been, to have you as my special friend.

So remember, not to frown, for I know someone, who is in love with your smile.

Let's become little old ladies together- we'll stay up late looking at old pictures, telling "remember when" stories, and
laughing till our sides ache.

outrageous in public places.
And if anybody should ask how long we've been friends, we'll say, "Oh, forever - since before you were even born!"
Let's become little old ladies together- because a friendship that's as special as ours can only grow better through the
years.
