To My Best Friend 

Author Unknown

I am a different person 
a better one, since we 
first became friends. 

Your honesty often helps me 
see my weaknesses, 
and your support helps me 
turn them into strengths. 

Thank you for not saying 
the things you think 
I want to hear, 
but saying the things 
I need to know. 

You're one of the very few people 
I trust and believe 
When you tell me 
how well I've done, 
because you are one of the very few 
who will tell me 
when I could do better. 

You challenge me 
to be the best me, 
by accepting and appreciating 
you've helped me 
learn to accept 
and appreciate myself.
