My Best Friend

Whenever I am lonely,

You're always by my side,

And when I call to you for help,

You never run or hide.

You're with me when I need you.

I hardly have to say,

"I need you now, I'm lonely."

You brighten every day.

When shadows fall so dimly

And crickets no more hide,

I'm not afraid to slumber,

For you'll be there by my side.

A friend is a wondrous thing to have,

An earthly prayer come true,

And daily I give thanks that I

Found such a friend in you.
