We say thanks

We say thank you for gifts or a job well done,
at birthdays or Christmas when we’ve had fun.
We give thanks for help when it’s most needed,
constructive advice, rejected or heeded.
For the daily duties and sacrifice too,
but this is to thank you, for just being you.
For all I’ve received since coming to know
you my friend , has helped me to grow.
By simply being yourself as you are
I cannot help but be richer by far.
My thanks to you for just simply being
for living, loving, giving, receiving.
