"To You My Friend"
You entered my life at a time when
I was lost and alone;
bewildered and uncertain;
afraid and unsettled;
depressed and disgusted.
You extended your hand
and listened to my story.
You were not judgmental
you understood.
I was at a low period in my life.
You smiled and comforted me.
Since then, you have been there for me
when I needed to hear a fresh outlook.
When I was searching for a purpose.
You opened up to me, let me into your world.
I was fascinated by your energy, your zest for life.
You gave me hope.
I walked away with less despair, and a feeling of renewal.
You make me want to be more, to reconnect with life.
Each time we talk, I feel rejuvenated and
excited about the world around me.
I had forgotten how nice it really is,
how much there is to explore and learn.
You brought a new sense of purpose to my life,
a desire to be more, see more and enjoy more.
You are helping bring back a spark
in my life that I thought was extinguished.
You make my heart smile.
Thank you, my friend.
