Some days the darkness sits on you,
Like grass when wet with morning dew.
The darkness seeps from deep inside,
And leaves you on a great divide.
The mixed up feelings you possess,
The dark and pain cause much distress.
You fight against the dark and swear.
You feel alone and in despair.
As darkness seems to hang around,
Your happiness cannot be found.

I will be there my friend, in plight,
To help you with the dark you fight.
No matter what and through it all,
For you, I'll be there when you call.


You have this darkness, I see through,
To find this love and warmth in you...


I've seen it in you from the start,
The love you hold within your heart.
This gentle side I see from you,
Shows warmth and care in things you do.
Compassion, Strength and wisdom too,
Strong qualities I find in you!
You're warm and caring to a friend,
A heartfelt thanks do I extend.
I'm glad to have you as my friend,
And I will love you with no end!

I'm simply speechless from the sentiment I feel for this tribute. Thank you is not enough, but thank you I do.

This is something you should send to all of your friends, and they will then know what they have in you. Well done!

LOL...I am not quite sure what's good for you Toerag! They said if it was good for you to stay away from it, right?
