FOR YOU MY FRIEND

Permit me to share my thoughts with you
I love and I appreciate you
You have been so wonderful to me
I love your courage

You believed in me and I trusted you
Your contribution made me what I am today
You brought out the best in me
I am glad I made a mark in your life too

Pardon my mistakes
I never meant to hurt you
My falls were part of my human nature
I learnt my mistakes after all

I am not a saint. I struggle to be one
Perseverance is the watchword
The Lord will lead me through
I believe in His mercy

Thank you, my beloved friend,
You are the God I see
My prayer to God before I go
Is to bless and protect you from harm

You were never afraid of my success
You have been a light to my soul
I thank God I met you
You have made my life worth living
