A Special Flower for my Best Friend



For Betsy...
My Best Friend and My Reason For Living


The Fairest of them All

In all my life I never believed that there could be
Such things as Angels or Miracles...

No one could ever have convinced me that
such goodness and thoughtfulness,
kindness and understanding,
honesty and loyalty,

as that which you give so unselfishly each day
and with no expectation of return,
could ever be mine.


You are
warm sunlight on a cold night...
a fresh breeze in the heat of August...
a candle in the dark...
a smiling face on a hostile, foreign shore.


And I am the proudest,
the happiest,
the luckiest mortal alive, because

For a best friend and life long companion,
I have
You

The Fairest of Them All
