As we walk our path of life, 
We meet people every day. 
Most are simply met by chance, 
but some are sent our way. 
These become the special friends 
whose bond we can't explain- 
the ones who understand us 
and share our joy and pain. 
Their love containts no boundaries, 
so even when apart, 
their presence still embraces us 
with a warmth felt in the heart. 
This love becomes a passageway 
where even miles disappear. 
And so these friends God sends our way 
remain forever near.
