The day she is not with me

Is the day that I die

Following her always,

With no frown or no sigh.

My life would not be complete

Without my very best friend

I know she’ll always be here,

Until the very end.

I thank her for life,

And all the joys so far

Praying to God always,

On a lucky star.

I love you so, so much

You are my everything

Thanks for being you,

And taking me under your wing.

Raindrops on roses

And a few of my favorite things

Her face would just glisten,

Each time she would sing.

Beautiful by nature

A true friend at best

Surpassing all the others,

She’s better than the rest.

Whatever it may be

Boys, a cough, or just a mood

She will always sit and listen,

Never, ever being rude.

I never have to say

When I’m feeling down

She only just knows,

By my hidden frown.

Her hug or her smile

Can break my mood so fast

Making me see the bright side,

Putting the bad to the past.

Now as I’m older

You could call us a ‘pair’

Our looks, wit, and charm,

Are only a few that we share.

My world is only whole

With her by my side

Having her always there,

To love and to guide.
