I hope our friendship can be
a source of comfort to you like
a blanket to wrap around you
when you're cold; like a pillow
for you to use to rest your head;
like arms to hold you when
you're weary and feeling alone;
like a handkerchief to catch
your tears.

I hope our friendship can be
a source of strength to you
like sunshine when you
need warmth in your life;
like music that soothes your
emptiness and fills a lonely
space; like a meal when
you're hungry and want to
eat; like a shoulder when you
need something to lean on.

I hope our friendship can be
a source of love to you
like someone who offers praise
and never pressure; like
someone who is there to talk
to when you need to talk; like
someone who is there for you
to be whatever it is you need;
like someone who loves you
just the way you are.

I hope our friendship can be
a source of certainty for
you that you always have
someone on your side to give
you confidence that there
is a light at the end of the
tunnel; to be a voice that
says, "Congratulations!",
you've made it through another
one!; to share with you
every challenge, every joy,
every trial in your life.
