As a friend I do wish you The best of life's blessings And freedom from sickness and pain. May your prayers and oblations, As blooms of carnations, Flourish in sunshine and rain. May the blessings of heaven Be showered upon you With favor from God and from man. May you harvest with pleasure The fruits of your labor To share with whoever you can. May the dew in the morning Refresh and delight you, And your days be filled with great peace. May your nights without number Be filled with sweet slumber; Your dreams filled with hope ne'er cease. May your mate and your children Bequeathed and beloved Be cherished as jewels set in gold. May your joy blend with laughter, Both now and hereafter, As the days of your life unfold. hope you and your loved ones are well God bless
Give me a friend that the world is mine give me a comrade rarer than wine Richer than gold is the smile of a friend richer and lovelier aye to the end Drink to the toast of a friendship that s true what s gone we ve enjoyed, we ve the future to view. thank you for being my friend
