What is a friend I said to the darkness
but no answer did the darkness speak
the dark a void
that I myself could never fill
a wall, a tower that had shown no hope
I wandered along alone and scared
for I am afraid of the dark
then a shimmering light
illuminated the night
and came closer
till I could feel the candle's heat
against
then I knew for once
I was not alone
we stumbled on together
helping each other
to find the way
now the room seems to brighten
with each passing day
you have brought light to part of my heart
where darkness lived before
you are more special then you'll ever know
for you have stolen a part of my heart
forever more
So now when I ask what is a friend
I know you were the one
my heart was searching for.

This is a fabulous tribute, and I believe you've hit the nail right on the head to this question

This is like

we walked through our life
suddenly one day we just walked away
to find our selves beingus and no one else to be.
But love we found
Thats why we know came to ground.
Love makes us feel more bound.

Liked it

Smile

Jes

A true friend is like a candle in the darkness of night. Glowing into gloomy corners, lighting unknown paths. Hold onto that freidnship with both hands for true friendship is hard to find in this world of turmoil.

oh how pretty this was!

a friend is someone who'll keep you warm at night, that special someone who doens't need to be right!

Love to you both
