Oh My Friend

Oh my friend,

What have I 

To tell you about me

You know better
don't you?

Where have you been?

I've missed you.

Many stories do I have
to tell you.

My friend,

You taught me to trust

You taught me to love 

You taught me to respect;

I'm blessed...

My friend,

Where have you been?

I wished you to be around

when I was telling stories to my children;
what beautiful days those were...

Did you ever think of me?

Have you ever thought of calling?

I wished that you did...
I wished that I did too...

Did you know,
sometimes I feel lost?
Like I was incomplete.
My friend,

At times,
 I lose hope!
At times,
it is impossible
to trust!

At times,
to disappear
is what I desire!

Do you know,

sometimes

I fear for my children?

I fear
they wouldn't know friendship.

I wished,

they'd learn from us.

My friend,

I want to thank you

For accepting me
as a friend;
and

For accepting me
as I am.

You're a humble soul,

You made me believe,
in myself.

You made me,
a better person.

My friend,

I thank you,

For your care,

For your love
and

For your faith
in me.

My friend,

I'd had a wonderful journey

I can't wait
To tell you all about it;
there's pain, love, bitterness and sweets.
It was flavorful.

I thank you,
for everything!

and,

I can't thank you enough.
You made the world better
for me.
