A gem of a friend
By nature, very kind
On the whole, a beautiful soul
On whom one can always call
When in need
You've done many a good deed!
A gem of a friend
Long ago began our bond
When colleagues we were
Extremely helpful by nature
By me, did you stand
When I was sinking into a quicksand
Forever, shall I be grateful
Your counsel, so valuable!!
A gem of a friend
Quite understanding, as a husband
One of the coolest fathers
I simply love your kids
Rene, a great friend as well
She and you, a cute couple
Such a pleasure, being at your home
Felt like my own home!!
A gem of a friend
Jesus, forever on your mind
Haven't seen a more ardent follower
In your faith, you truly persevere
Even during the worst of times
May you receive a billion blessings
Let's hope we catch up soon
Do keep your charming smile on!!
