Forever Friends

Forever friends are hard to find,
Some folks are truly one-of-a-kind.

The person I'm writing this ditty about,
Went to be with The Lord of that I've no doubt.

Was recovering from surgery when a lady I knew not,
Delivered dinner and I never forgot.

That kind gesture took place in '68,
Sparking a friendship ever so great.

From then on, my new friend and I,
Ventured through life even as it went awry.

Her tender smile I've seared in my mind,
Along with angelic love warm, sweet'n kind.
