Friends

Folder: 
04. Happy Moments

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.
