For My Dear Friends Poem by B. V. Dahlen

Of all the gifts that I may find
beneath my Christmas tree,
There's one that I most cherish,
That means the most to me.

It doesn't come in bag or box.
No ribbons on it tied,
And yet I find most beautiful
The things I find inside.

Your friendship is that special gift,
That treasure that I hold,
A gift that is more notable
Then prizes made of gold.

I take this time to thank you for
This present you bestow,
And let you know I value it
More than you’ll ever know.
