A true friend

I would like to dedicate the following poem to a special person .. a true friend who was never busy for me and always ready to hear me out. Always ready to point out my shortcomings with a smile.....A friend who helped me cross the most turbulant year of my life.....


Thank You

You took me in under your wings
When I was too scared to fly
You told me that I had to live
When all I wanted was to die

You saw the fear and sadness
I had by only the sound of my voice
You were never too busy for me
You were always there to listen to me

You told me just to take my time
We'll always have next week
There were many, many times
When you'd just let me weep

You somehow made me smile, though
Through my pain and all the tears
You made me tell all about my life
And what happened in those years

You opened my heart very slow
And took a look inside
Then you found the invisible part of me
That I wanted so badly to hide

But you didn't laugh, nor did you leave
You just gave me a smile that healed
You didn't say I was wrong
Something I'd needed so long

Still I have got so many ghosts in me
Maybe one day I will be able to tell you
There is nobody else who knows
Anyway who cares

Then I realized something was wrong
When I sat there all those days
Then I finally figured it out
It was something I didn't say

Thank you was all that I could get out
Though I wanted to say much more
You have taught me of life and love
And that I have something to live for.
