You’ve seen my morning face
with sleep in the corners of my eyes
and yet you look at me with a smile
to let me know that I’m beautiful.

You’ve seen my waking dreams
with all the colors I can I paint
and yet you gently encourage me
to fly higher than even I can see.

You’ve seen my childish fears
with all their absurd roots
and yet you stand beside me
to hold a light in the darkness.

You’ve seen the depths of my grief
with enough tears to fill a stadium
and yet you hold my head to your chest
to help me squeeze out as many as I can.

You’ve seen the core of who I am
with all the eccentricities I try to hide
and yet you evoke a desire in me
to be everything I am and more.

Martie and Spitfire,

Thanks for the kind words.  I actually have two friends that I wrote this about.  Guess I'm very lucky!

I enjoyed reading your poetry, it has a lot of truth & it was very well writen. It's just too bad that everyone can't be that way.
You are very luck to have such people who care about you so much.
