Just like a rose

so precious and rare,
is the forever friendship
the two of us share.


Planted with kindness,
it's warmed by the sun
of caring and sharing,
laughter and fun.


It's grounded in trust
and nurtured by love,
with a sprinkling of grace
from God up above.


Tears of sadness and joy,
like dew, renew this friendship
I share with you.


And in the heart's garden,
we find the room to be ourselves,
to grow and bloom.


A blessing of beauty unsurpassed,
our friendship's a flower
that will always last.
