In the cradle of time, our friendship was born, Bethany, my maid of honour, through storms and dawn. Since babes in arms, we've shared laughter and tears, From bites on the back to conquering fears. Our footprints have graced distant sands, Together on holidays, hand in hand. Though distance now stretches, across the expanse, In the dance of life, we still share a glance. Friends for life, through thick and thin, A bond so strong, it needs no spin. Thank you, dear friend, for standing by, My special day brightened by your loving eye. Without you, it would not ring so true— Bethany, my heart, forever with you.
