Treasured Friend

You have no idea how much you mean
to those of us with eyes to see
and hearts to feel.

You've loved, and laughed, and let us be
just what we all were meant to be
"No big deal!"

You've given all that you could give
and felt the strain of giving,
but you never quit.

You've tried to live up to others dreams
even when the image
didn't fit.

You've carried the load when others couldn't
and done the best
that you could

We owe to you a debt we cannot pay,
but if there was any way,
you know we would!
