You are the person I can count on.
The one who really cares.
You are the person I can talk to,
When everyone else just stares.
From the moment you were born,
Friends we were to be.
A special bond was created,
Of friendship, love and hope.
This special bond has developed,
And helped us both to cope.
For as we reach an age,
Where time is of the essence.
We cannot always rely,
On each other’s presence.
However no matter how little time,
Or distance that lay between,
Or how long it has been
Since each other we have seen.
The special link of cousins,
And especially that of friends,
Will forever grow stronger,
Throughout life’s many bends.

So no matter where you go,
Or who you meet along the way.
The promise I give you,
Is that friends we will stay.
For if ever you are lonely,
Or life’s a little bland.
I will always be close by,
To lend a helping hand.
