Some things need to be corrected.

"the genuine freindship" => "genuine friendship"

"inspired to me" => "inspired in me"

"Of what I have, you are to my eyes, the most precious"

"I 'd like to tell you sincerely how dear you are to me. "

Some suggestions to improve this translation:

I think 'the' in front of 'genuine friendship' should be removed.

'inspired to me'
'inspired in me'

Sequence change:
'To my eyes you are the most precious of what I have.'

'to want extent you are loved'
'how dear you are to me'

Hi Lillian

"A mes yeux" in French is not really translatable as it is. It means "in my opinion" or "for me" and is probably best translated as "In my eyes"

So I would just suggest rearranging the following phrase:

"To my eyes, of what I have, you are the most precious."

to:

"In my eyes, you are the most precious thing I have."

or

"For me, you are the most precious thing I have"
