This was a tribute to friendship that I composed. I gave it as a speech at my birthday party one year. I wrote it so that my friends would know how much they meant to me, and how important friendship is. Here’s the tribute.

We are all here for the same reason. We are present on this day and time to celebrate the essence of friendship through activities, fun, singing, cake, and enjoying the company of one another.
Each of us is here today because we are considered special, valuable souls by the irreplaceable people in our lives – our friends. Though many people who were invited to this gathering were unable to be present today, they are still cherished by us, for they are our dear friends.
We are all God’s children, and we have all been blessed in many ways.
One of the greatest blessings that He has bestowed upon us is the gift of friendship.
So, today we will remember this, and may it never be forgotten.
I hope you guys have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
