I search for your smile in the ocean Your name I still do not know But I feel you right here beside me Beneath the bright moon’s glow To others you are a mystery But I know you are always there You held my hand just this evening When I cried about how life is unfair I have felt your arms gently lift me From harms way just in time Yet you never have let me thank you So I do so now with this rhyme I felt your presence when he was drinking And I swore I couldn’t go on I somehow awoke cheerily in the morning Grateful to greet the new dawn And when I made this trek so far from home Your strength kept me from being afraid It was with you right beside me In the faces of new friends I made So I suppose some would call you an angel I simply call you my friend And watch for your face in the moonlight Then close my eyes and let the words end. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

  (smiles) Awwwwww, this is beautiful, sweet friend, and just the thought of having a true friend is such a lovely feeling even when they not seem angelic! (sigh) This is lovely, sweet friend, may you always feel comfort near those you love, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michelle,, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!' Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
