To A Special Friend

To A Special Friend

You have been a friend
when sadness surrounded my heart.
You were there to ease the pain
And to give me hope.

You have been a friend
When confusion confronted me.
You were there to clean my thoughts
And to bring me back to reality.

You have been a friend
When anger aggravated me.
You were there to sooth my mind
and grant me forgiveness.

You have been a friend
When happiness held on to me
You were present to share
My joy and spread it to the world.
