you are a glimer of hope
in this world of hate
a shining jewel
in a bed of rocks.
you are the essense of life
an angel of beauty
a lofty and guiding star
in a universe of darkness.
you are a rose
amongst the thorns
a bright light
within the shadows.
you are a smile
which casts off frowns
a chorus of song
which breaks the silence.
you are my friend
for which aren't many
a bride of understanding
in my life of chaos.
You are -
and for that -
I am greatful.
