One thought that fills my heart with cheer
Is the thought of friends I've made this year.
You’re always there to see me through
My day starts out by thinking of you.



A friend that will never walk away
One that will be there, night or day.
One I can tell my secrets to
One that will cheer me when I'm blue.

You're there to give me a helpful lift
And that my friend, is a "priceless gift".
You listen to me when I laugh or cry
You wipe away, the tear from my eye.



When life just seems to be so tough
You're there for me, sure enough.
As my friend, I can confide in you
And all of a sudden, those gray skies turn blue.

My friend, you never let me down
You placed a smile, where once was a frown.
You've made me laugh when I needed it so
You've made my face become all aglow.



You have a heart that's made of gold
Rare to find ... so I've been told.
Even though we are miles apart,
I'll always hold you close to my heart.

You give me strength and inspiration
Faith, love and admiration.
An angel sent from up above
Always there ... your labor of love.


A "priceless gift" you are indeed
There for others, when in need.
My thoughts and prayers shall always be
For God to give you, what you've given to me.
