I may not always say it
I may not always care
But deep inside I know
I'll always want to be there
Many times eloquent words fail me
I'm reluctant to let it show
How much your friendship means to me
How I pray that it would grow
To be a precious pearl in time
I am confident of this end
That if we guard our oyster well
Trials will beautify the gem
So dear friend I pray each day
Be o so patient with me
Together we will look to God
For grace to face what we cannot see
