Just like a rose

Just like a rose,
so precious and rare,
is the forever friendship
the two of us share.
~
Planted with kindness,
it's warmed by the sun
of caring and sharing,
laughter and fun.
~
It's grounded in trust
and nurtured by love,
with a sprinkling of grace
from God up above.
~
Tears of sadness and joy,
like dew,
renew this friendship
I share with you.
~
And in the heart's garden,
we find the room
to be ourselves,
to grow and bloom.
~
A blessing
of beauty unsurpassed,
our friendship's a flower
that will always last.
