Blessings


a kindred spirit has passed my way
and not once to judge or take survey
he saw through me and saw enough
a heart so tender behind a wall so rough
reached out his hand, called me friend
knew too well, the hurt I mend
calls me courageous when I feel so weak
understands my words whenever I speak
if I need him, I just whisper his name
through saddened tear drops, joy to proclaim
never alone on this journey I now take
steadfast in the choices I have to make
troubles and pleasures you can't comprehend
I count my blessings, as I call him friend
