To the friend I've found within you
someone listening when I talk
someone soft to wander into
someone with me when I walk

To the friend you are beside me
sometimes just as lost as I
sometimes just to lay beside me
hug me tightly as I cry

To the friend I see from my side
filled with problems of your own
all the feelings that you dont hide
all the sides you've freely shown

To the friend that trusts me dearly
telling me the things you feel
this alone can only tell me
that the girl inside is real

To the friend I want to hear this
in your life you're not alone
many times I try to show this
hope you know I'm always "home"

To a friend who's touched me deeply
always showing that you care
when you ask if you're succeeding
think of all the love you share

To my friend who questions often
"Am I loved? Do people care?"
Take it from a heart you soften...
...listen to the words I share.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This is an absolutely wonderful poem
ringing with sincerity.  What a great read on this Sunday afternoon.
