Forever amazed,
by the wonderful people in my life.
Real people in the world
who have chosen to let me
into their lives.
In the middle of the night I wake
and no longer do I cry.
Each and every day I give thanks
for those whom I can call a friend.
Never one for company,
I was always a bit of a loner.
Now darkness has cleared
and I find myself surrounded
by loving, caring, beautiful people.
Shoulders forever burdened
now bear a lesser load.
Happy days engulf me
driving awy dark clouds of the past.
I am grateful and blessed
to have so many dear friends.
My prayers have been answered.
I am no longer lonely or alone.
Ever curious, I can't help but wonder
if the people I think about
sit somewhere and think
the same thoughts I do, but about me.
Slowly letting go of what holds me back,
I have learned to trust again.
One more chance all I asked for,
they have given me that and more.
Vain I was, clingy, needy, hurtful, forgetful--
they have forgiven and accepted all.
Everyone of them has a place,
forever,
in my heart and memories.
