RARELY
Flora Sweeney 1946 (USA)
Very rarely does on person
have such an impact on another's life.
So much so that indelible footprints...
are left forever in their mind.
You, my friend, are...
one of those rare exceptions.
if you think you might have room...
for one more friend...
think of me.
But even if you think the space...
is much too small.
I will never forget the comfort you gave me...
during the worst period of my life.
My friend, my love goes with you always.
