He skips his wants to provide for us more,
Smiling even when his heart is sore.

He instructs without talking much,
Lessons are concealed in every touch.

He keeps our hand through every fear,
Wipes away our tears and stays near.

He instructs strength with soft tone,
And makes us feel we aren't alone.

His arms are safe, his heart spacious,
A universe of love he holds inside.

My dear friend, who shines my way,
Lead my steps when I go misguided.

Your words like lanterns in my gloomy night,
Turning all my wrongs slowly into right.

In every second of gloomy night,
You bring the stars to make that things bright.

With kind words and gentle light,
You guide my heart to peaceful sight.

My dear best friend, so pure, so true,
A best friend like you is the greatest gift of all.
