My Gift To You

A prayer goes out for you
My always-there friend
No matter what happens
Your friendship never bends

I wish you much joy
On this Christmas Day
I don’t have a doubt
Santa came your way

I can see your wish list
Sitting under the tree
Look for the one signed
With much love from me

Some will think it empty
The box with the red bow
Pray for these poor souls
Because they’ll never know

Friendship is a gift
Not fondled by your hands
Not admired by the eyes
Finer than drifting sands

Look inside the box
Let it warm you over the miles
And always remember
You’re not alone through your trials

Enjoy your holiday season
And the friendship that we share
Remember the box isn’t empty
The gift of friendships in there
