	Story Behind the Song In this post 9/11 world, we find ourselves searching for comfort in many areas of our life. Often that comfort comes from our friends. Like angels, they are there for us, to guide and protect, but in a very real and present way. This is the first song I wrote after the death of my father from a car accident. It is from my mother's point of view to her best friend, Karen--a woman who has been by our side since Day One. This song is dedicated to her and her family, and to all those angels in our midst who we need to thank. Lyrics You were there in the beginning. Years ago we had our start. Lots of memories of laughter. We grew up but not apart. And today you're still beside me. In the hour of my need. Still offering your kindness. Here helping me proceed. You are my friend, my guard my helping hand. You're an angel sent to guide me through this land. You are strength in time of weakness. Shelter from the storm my companion in the valley afterall. Thank you my friend. I didn't have to ask for comfort. But you freely made it known. Volunteering for the journey, one I might've faced alone. What a precious gift of love you give, embracing that which others fear. I wouldn't blame you if you had to go, yet I'm stronger when you're near. Words cannot begin to tell you just how much I want to thank you friend. Yet it would be my honor to be the same friend to you. I'll be your friend. You're guard you're helping hand. As you've done for me I'll do all that I can. I'll be strength in time of weakness. Shelter from the storm. Your companion in the valley afterall. I'll be your friend. We are here to help eachother through this land. Being strength in time of weakness. Shelter from the storm. As companions in the valley afterall. Thank you my friend.
