The Best Times In My Life the best things in my life are not found in the pages of photo albums or scrapbooks they are the events with the dates forgotten these moments are not anticipated they are the times when you tell me that you’re there for me they are the times when you show concern for me they are the times when you let me know you care do you remember when you wrote the letter saying “if you need a friend, just call”” do you remember telling me that you’re glad to be my friend do you remember when i was feeling down and you gave me a hug i remember those times and although no pictures were taken i put them in my album and there are no momentos i could place in my scrapbook i remember those times those were the times when you made me feel special and that is why those are the best times in my life Copyright Janet Kuypers.
