Birthday of A Friend

(for my angel friend on her birthday)

We all have a friend that

Gives us joy when we have sadness,
A smile when we have tears.
Said friend is always there
On our side when we are harmed
And is always worried about us
Because he or she doesn't
Want to see us suffer.
And when it comes to such friend,
I have you, my angel friend.
Since the day we met
You have given me more than a friendship.
With your sweetness and tenderness,
You have given me
A refuge from my sadness.
And with your words,
You have given me hope.
But the most wonderful thing you have given me
Is your love.
And with your love,
I have been able to be a bit happier.
I want to show you
How much you mean to me.
I want to give you a rose and a hug
And give you a little kiss...
However, the distance prevents me.
To you, this verse I dedicate
On such a special day
Because there is something that distance
Is not able to prevent me from doing...
And that is to tell you...
That I love you so much.
