To Miss Jankus: My Angel And Friend by Smile I never thought that I would find a friend so great and a friend so kind I look up to you in every way 'cause I learn something from you every day. Without you I don't know where I'd be but you're still here, friends with me you deserve so much more than I can give but without you I wouldn't live. You've given me more than money can buy and for you I'd give my all and I would die This feeling I feel gets stronger every day hoping not to screw it up, I constantly pray. I know we have our problems every now and then but once it's fixed our friendship is better times ten and I want you to know that I truly do care even in fights when I say things that aren't fair. You're an angel from God up above and I'm thankful for your understanding love because when you're around everything seems right and for you, until the end, I will fight. It doesn't matter what you do or say because you'll be my friend anyway I know the real you that's down deep inside and in you, I'll always confide. Thanks for being the friend you are you're my best friend, an angel by far everything in you is an inspiration to do great and you'll be loved by all cause that's your fate! So never stop being the real and wonderful you cause God shines through in all that you do and whenever it seems like I'm never there remember this: I love you and I'll always care! From: “Your Nat Nat”
