When looking at my lovely bouquet,
of friendship's faces.
Picked from so many,
wonderful and different places.

It suddenly came bursting,
with such delight.
How each one made up,
a most beautiful sight.

Though it has taken my life-time,
to add each one.
I know that still yet,
my task is not done.

For I shall continue to gather,
along life's pathway.
More radiant faces,
that I shall display.

But dear FRIEND!
This I want you to know.
It will be your flower,
the first that I show.

Thanks, for all the memories,
both of laughter and tears.
They will always be with me,
throughout the coming years.

Thank all of you lovely friends
for bringing laughter into my life.
