"Because of You"
*to someone special*

My words have come back
As though magic was breathed into me
The laughter and joy I've shared with you
Has helped me to be free

Through the black of night you showed me who you were
Though you tried not to show the real you
But the amazing person you are
Came shining clearly through

You make me laugh and make me smile
Help me to forget my troubles for a little while
But you also listen, and there to lend a hand
Caring and compassionate, you truly understand

A friendship of the souls is what we share
We both know this to be true
You have a kindness that is rare
I feel much better now, because of you...

Kris:
Thank you for your wonderful friendship. It means more to me than I can ever say. For those of you who don't know (snowpants) you should...she is a wonderful friend, and remarkable person.

How wonderful....and "welcome back" to Amys pen  ...
I knew it would not be silent long...
what a sweet gesture, as so many times now..
we find quiet comfort and bonds of friendship here in this special place.
lovely tribute to snowpants.
love to ya sunshine

Although I don't really know snowpants, I am sure she is really deserving of this beautiful poem and your friendship Amy  

A beautiful tribute

Amy,
This is so very beautiful, what friendship! Wow!

We both know this to be true

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
