Amy has an inspiring message.  It was good for me to think about the friendships that have made an impact on who I am today.

A friend gives from the heart
Words and smiles that invite
The spirit to impart
In a bond filled with light

A friend misses your face
And asks about your day
A friend's first to embrace
You when things aren't okay

A friend remembers well
The good times when you grew
True friends are mutual
They serve each other too

Verse 1] A friend gives from the heart With words and smiles that invite A spirit to take part In a bond filled with light [Chorus] You ask about my day You meet me where I stand When things aren't okay You reach out with your hand A friend remembers well The good times as we grew True friends are mutual They serve each other too [Verse 2] A friend can miss your face And save a place for you No matter time or space The thread stays strong and true A friend's the first embrace When trouble finds its way A steady heart and place That helps you face the day [Chorus] You ask about my day You meet me where I stand When things aren't okay You reach out with your hand A friend remembers well The good times as we grew True friends are mutual They serve each other too [Bridge] No keeping score, no grand display Just showing up in quiet ways A listening heart, a promise kept The kind of gift we don't forget [Final Chorus] You ask about my day You meet me where I stand When things aren't okay You reach out with your hand A friend remembers well The good times as we grew True friends are mutual They serve each other too [Outro] A friend gives from the heart And helps the light come through
