Sarah

We started out young, back in the seventh grade

Same neighborhood streets, look at the bond that we made

Over fifty years of memories, watching you lead

You practice what you preach, planting every good seed

You’re smart and you're giving, a light in the dark

For God and the church, you've been leaving your mark

You took me along on this journey of life

Through all of the joy and the seasons of strife

Sarah, the Word says to have a true friend

You gotta show friendliness right to the end

Proverbs eighteen and twenty-four

You showed me that truth and a whole lot more

You stick closer than a brother, it's true

It’s my greatest honor just walking with you

A pillar of faith on whom I depend

I'm so proud to call you my girlfriend, my friend

Raising our children and watching them grow

The parties, the food, all the love that we know

Packing our bags for those sweet girls' trips

With laughter and prayers right there on our lips

Down to St. Augustine, feeling the breeze

Tybee Island waters washing over our knees

Walking the shoreline, the beach parties too

Sharing the sunshine, just me and just you

When hardships came heavy and shadowed the day

We saw each other through, we found a new way

You let me share in the things you achieved

Encouraging me every time I believed

A supporter of family, community too

There is no one else with a spirit like you

Sarah, the Word says to have a true friend

You gotta show friendliness right to the end

Proverbs eighteen and twenty-four

You showed me that truth and a whole lot more

You stick closer than a brother, it's true

It’s my greatest honor just walking with you

A pillar of faith on whom I depend

I'm so proud to call you my girlfriend, my friend
