Edgar Guest - A Friends Greeting
Work rating: Low

I`d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me;
I`d like to be the help that you`ve been always glad to be;
I`d like to mean as much to you each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way.

I`d like to do the big things and the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies and leave them only blue;
I`d like to say the kindly things that I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you`ve stirred.

I`d like to give you back the joy that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be;
I`d like to make you feel as rich as I, who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to lean upon.

I`m wishing at this Christmas time that I could but repay
A portion of the gladness that you`ve strewn along my way;
And could I have one wish this year, this only would it be:
I`d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.
