TITLE: For My Best Friend
AUTHOR: April Willis

Sometimes when I'm too depressed
or drowning in self-doubt,
I know that I can call your name
and you will pull me out.
You taught me
that I'm worth much more
than what I'd always thought.
You gave me strength
and confidence
that so long I had sought.
You showed me that I'm beautiful
both outside and in.
You proved that I'm not second best
time and time again.
One day I will return to you
all you've given me.
I don't know in what time or form,
but I promise soon you'll see.
For richer, for poorer,
in sickness, in health,
through all of the thick and thin,
I trust I can always count on you
and am proud to call you friend.
