Edgar Guest - A Friend`s Greeting
Work rating: Low

DIAMONDS wouldn`t tell yer all I really think of you, 
The costliest gift the goldsmith makes I`m sure would never do. 
There`s nothing known that gold can buy that I could ever send
That could explain how glad I am to have yer fer a friend.

If I had all the wealth of earth and what I like could get
And I should send it on to you, I`d still be in your debt, 
And still the heart o` me would cry: "That ain`t enough t` do 
Fer one whose smiles an` kindly words have meant so much t` you."

It`s Christmas time, an` here I am, a-wishin` all that`s good 
Fer you an` yours. A patch o` blue above your neighborhood, 
The bloom o` health forever on the cheeks o` those you love, 
An` future years t` bring the joys that now you`re dreamin` of.
 
"God bless yer!" That expresses it in simple words an` true, 
It`s what the heart o` me would say if it could speak t` you. 
May every day be Christmas Day until your journey`s end, 
Is jus` the simple wish of one who`s glad you call him friend.
