Instant Friends

Instant Friends

Not flash frozen or out of a box,
Not a cookie cutter copy at all
But, once you meet them
In a instant
You just know that this is one of a kind.

Instant Friends are the kind you just know
Will be your buddy forever and your friendship will only grow.
Call it chemistry or charisma or just pure fate
But once you meet them you just know you relate.

It’s like you’ve been down this road once before
You know their thoughts before they open the door
Of their hearts and minds and souls to you
And there’s nothing you don’t share or enjoy to do.

You share each others joys and tears
And know, you'll remain friends for years and years.
Its' almost as if it was always meant to be
This precious friend you would one day see.

You tease and console as only good friends can do
But you know in a pinch that she'd be there for you.
So I just want to thank you God, for putting her in my life
And I pray to be that kind of friend through happiness or strife.
