It's Been So Good to Have You as a Friend

It's been so good to have you as a friend:As sweet and rich as honey-colored sunSlanting steep across a summer lawn,Gilding life with all that love can lend.And now that you yourself have griefs to tend,I want to be the strong and caring oneTo count to you the lovely things you've doneUntil these troubles pass and sorrows end.You are so beautiful in form and soulThat you bring happiness to all
