      Without a friend to call my own what would my poor heart do? Without a friend to cheer me up I'd remain so sad and blue. Without a friend to make me smile a frown would rule my face. Without a friend I'd be so lonely here in this human race. Without a friend I could not live because life I could not share. So friend I'm thankful that I have you and I'm glad you're always there. Love and Hugs, Jenni
