Special Friends

I shared a poem I had written and put to music, with a young friend of mine.. She said, she would like me to write a poem for her...One evening I got a phone call from my daughter saying, that Natashia would like me to write her poem about why she Loves ME. Funny request I thought, but, the words flew out so fast, I had to sit at the computer and put them down.

Here it is... p.s. I LOVE YOU TASH!

SPECIAL FRIENDS

Natasha thinks her Auntie, is really pretty ducky.

But what she doesn’t know, is her Auntie feels so lucky.

Because this auntie cherishes, the hugs this girl bestows.

And each time that I see her, my love for her just grows.

Her Auntie is quite silly, embarrassing herself,

But somehow or another, in her my Tash sees wealth.

Now Aunties can’t have favorites, I love her like the rest,

With all the crazy memories, of this I cannot jest.

I count it quite a privilege, to have come into her life,

One day some lucky fellow, will be blessed that she’s his wife.

I’ve listened to her family tell, the blessing that she’s given.

She’s drawn her family heavenward, by God’s love she was driven.

But Tasha asked me to recite, the reasons that she loves,

I think it’s that were both related to the man above.

I’m thankful that she see beneath this sometimes foolish friend,

And understands theres hope for me, my heart through Christ to bend.

So that one day, we both will hear, well done thy faithful child,

Come from our best friend Jesus, who is so meek and mild.

Then heart to heart and hand in hand together we will walk,

The streets of Gold forever....up there have time to talk.

And I have heard that we will not recall our trials here.

For heaven will be cheep enough, we’ll no more shed a tear.

But sing forever of the God who gave to us His Son.

Eternity before us, our forever’s just begun =)
