Lifetime Best Friend

Large is my heart towards you.
Over many years, our friendship has grown.
Validated by your trustworthy actions;
Earnestly and sincere your love's been shown.

Love is choice not just a feeling.
Oblivious must become the other's faults.
Yesterdays mistakes must not be counted.
Affectionate mercy will be the results.
Love covers over all the wrongs.
Truly nullifying the various assaults,
You have made, or they have done.

Faithfully being there, for each other.
Respecting them for who they are.
Identifying their various strengths and talents,
E ncouraging them to reach their best, with flare.
Never having to say goodbye,
Doing whatever it takes, to care.
Selflessly giving to the other.
Helping in any way to prepare,
Is the foremost goal in your minds.
"Preparing for a lifetime together", we declare.
