To My Wife Tera:

Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me

You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me

A Friend To Me
Written By Garth Brooks

I met you on that cold winter day on the playground so many years ago. I was taken back by your beautiful hair, your deep brown eyes and olive skin. You wore a brown and tan sweater as you walked by and I asked your name. You had just been hurt by a person that you called a friend. This is the first memory of my angel that lives with me. Yes you are indeed my best friend but you are so much more than that. You love me with passion and persistence. You give until it hurts. Your beauty is beyond words and as of yet I have been unable to express it. It has been eight years this day since we made a promise to our God and friends but it has been 16 years of pure unrestrained love. Happy anniversary my Love.
