That’s What Friends Are For
Thank you both for everything
It means a lot
To know at least two friends
If nothing else we have got
You invited us into your house
Helped any way you can
Were truly there for us
We had no other plan
You let us use your Jeep
So we could travel around
Or took us yourself
Til own ride was found
You let us eat food
Though money is tight
Patient and understanding
It'd been easier to fight
You have loaned us many dollars
We had not a single cent
Don't think we've properly conveyed
How much the money meant
You treat us like relatives
Without keeping track or score
Not because your motive is to gain
That's what friends are for
We may not show it
But are grateful to be here
I thought this token of gratitude
Would be pleasant to hear
Do not ever doubt that your kindness
Is a gesture we appreciate
Just hope we all can show it
Before it is too late
We could not do it without you
You continue giving each day
That means so much more
Than words could say
To our friends megan and jon who are the only reason we are not homeless and starving right now
