Unique

I could search the whole world over

and never find another you.

Like a day of precious memories

you are forever new.

Contributing uniquely 

in your own special way,

adding laughter, joy, a richness,

whether near or far away.

It isn’t what you give me

or even what you do,

that gives to life a value

far more than gold can do.

It is you, yourself, just being,

as only you can be,

the essence of your spirit

is the beauty that I see.

Some friends are special

and always stay true.

Others are fleeting

and just passing through.

But the best kind of friends

are those just like you.

Faithful and thoughtful

in all that they do.

For when love is needed in the daily round,

there I know you are sure to be found.

May all that you give out

in every way,

return in abundance to bless you each day.
