My Friend

You showed me light,
You showed me a way forward,
You gave me hope, you helped me grow
Into my own individual person.
When I first saw you, I had no idea
What a great impact your words, your thoughts would bring.
You may not be famous or a worldwide billionaire.
You are not always the centre of attention,
But I’m glad to know that someone across the town,
Is someone who makes me happy.

You make me laugh, make me smile,
You make me feel like I’m worthwhile.
Whenever I’m in doubt you help me to come around.
You’re always there when I need you the most.
You’ve seen me at my worst,
You’ve seen me at my best.
You give the best advice.

You have the kindest eyes,
And an even kinder smile.
You brighten up my day,
Never failing to make me smile.
To me you’re the sun,
Always brightening up my day.

You dried my tears and calmed me down.
You help me see the good in every situation.
You may think I’m just a friend,
Or a person you know,
But you inspire me to be
The best person that I can.
You’re there when I’m in doubt,
Or need a shoulder to lean on.

I may not be able to express my thoughts clearly,
But I think you’re the best,
So, thank you for being here,
And thanks for being my friend.
