We have some friends that we both share, whom God has given us

And we both love them all, but there is one thing that we trust

Our friendship that we hold so tight and never will let go      

Is such a rare occurrence, not just everyone will know

Some forty years ago, we came into each other’s lives

We both loved playing cards, that's when our husbands joined the jives

You worked out; I worked from home, which helped your daycare needs

Then soon the flowers bloomed, where God had planted all the seeds

Your mom would call us sisters; I’m the one you never had 

And we’ve lived up to that, in all the good times and the bad

We raised our kids together; even granddaughters are close

Could we see it one more time, with “greats?” only God knows

You are more than just unique; My best of all of the rest

 I know you, better than you, so I know I’ve been blessed

Another forty years, I hope to sense your loving touch

Besides, I need to keep you near, ’cause you know way too much
