This is from the text on a card that Averil and I exchanged recently and expresses what makes her my best friend. (I've attempted to recreate the wording and general layout of the card below).
True friendship
Is a gift to be treasured
An inspirational thought especially for you
When somebody supports you in everything you do,
Shares a laugh or wipes a tear, you have a friend that's true
And when you're in an hour of need the person you find there,
Can only be the one with whom a special bond you share...
And when that someone cannot fail to give your heart a lift,
Their friendship is a blessing and a very special gift.
Thank you for being such a
Special friend
