Friends are the flowers
that bring to each day
enrichment and beauty in
their own special way.

Each one is unique and
of delicate hues.
They open the world to
life's different views.





Friends are the flowers
that grow in the heart
special blessings from
God that He does impart,
as a sign of His love,
from His garden above.





Who can ever measure
the love from a friend?
It's like trying to
find the ocean's end.

When they are gone,
the loss, and the pain
is like trying to count
the drops in the rain.





So treasure
don't measure
since friends are on loan
until they return to
their garden back "home".





In my garden's secret place
I can see your smiling face.
Should the teardrops of rain flow
in it's place a rose will grow.

In my heart you'll always be
as a flower God sent to me.





Dedicated to all friends

and

in loving memory of:
