For My Friend

For My Friend

Every rose has its thorn, they say

I'm full of many

But don't be afraid to get too close

I can't promise not to hurt you

All I can promise is I'll try

I have a lot of love to give

The tears in your eyes make me weep

Let me hold your hand

I'll pray for you

And then I'll hold you close

I can't tell you the whens or hows

But somehow things will work out

It may not turn out how you planned

But I believe they'll turn out okay

Let His love for you hold you up

Remember He will never leave you

And while I can't promise you I'll never leave

I promise to be here as long as I can

I won't just up and walk away

You're my friend

I do not use that word lightly

If I call you friend

This means that you mean a great deal to me

I loved you yesterday

I love you now

And I will love you for as many tomorrows as I have
