In honor of my best friend, Phillip Townsend

Bless you! My friend
My strength , my hero and my best friend!


I know not how to thank you enough, my friend!
When we first met at the age of three
I knew our friendship would never end
We became joined like a lock and a key

I know not how to thank you enough, my friend!
When we were seven we became blood brothers
The world changed for me no need to pretend
The cut was deep and it scared our mothers

I know not how to thank you enough, my friend!
When we became men nothing had changed
I always knew we had many good times to spend
It is almost like this destiny was prearranged

I know not how to thank you enough, my friend!
When you married that wonderful girl, Sue
I was so proud and it continued a trend
With two wonderful boys and this is true

I know not how to thank you enough, my friend!
When I think of you I could write forever
I am so thankful and it is hard to comprehend
How I was so lucky for the bond none can sever

Bless you! My friend!
My strength , my hero and my best friend!
