My Friend
We've come a long way...you and I
Two sturdy vessels upon this raging stream
You've always kept your hopes up, your spirits high
And in that I've learned to live...and to dream
You showed me that I can be myself...
Others will love me just the same
You gave me the insight to see the hands
That were dealt me in this life game
There were times when I stumbled along life's pathway
And your hands were among those who reached out to steady me
And when I lost my balance and fell of my pedestal
You were also there to pick me up and put me back on my own two feet
There were countless times when I was confused and insecure
A lost hope..a lost dream....searching for something new
And then among the rain and snow... I felt the warmth of your presence
A reminder that old friends are the ones who stays true
There were times when the road I was traveling
Became blocked with obstacles so I could not see what was beyond
But one heartwarming conversation between you and me
And I found the strength to shove them aside and move on
I see the better side of life because I have you to help me paint
This portrait of love, friendship, goodwill, and harmony
The rainbow of colors...bright and cheerful
Blends together...forming this picture of friendship between you and me
So....thank you
for always being there
for always believing
for never losing faith....
in me
Thank you
for always caring
for always endearing
for never laughing
at my dreams
Thank You
for sharing my laughter
for letting me cry my tears
for lending me a shoulder
all throughout the years!
