Shawn, My Very Best Friend

One of my dreams finally came true,
The very first day that I met you
You were so nice from the start,
It showed you have a big heart
You've been a great best friend,
And I don't want it to ever end
You continually give good advice,
While always being really nice
You forever rush to defend,
With a caring ear to lend
And no matter how really deep,
All my secrets you always keep
You are a truer sister to me,
Than those in my own family
So this poem is just for you,
The very best friend I ever knew

Happy 40th Birthday,
Love You, Janjan 2010

Your love for Shawn shines in this poem, Janice. Beautifully written and very moving. I'm glad to see you posting again and am sending positive thoughts your way as you look for work. I'm sure it's hard in your area of the country, so my prayers are with you. Much love, Carolyn
