Once upon a time there was a little girl She was only young, new to the world, Yet she knew me so well From the moment we met we clicked We shared A summer at each others side She told me one thing I will always remember "You have a way with words, a gift, share it" She encouraged me to share my talents, Her very prescence inspired me to do so much to write like I had never written before As Time Went on, the trees grew golden and amber as the year grew older I lost that little girl despite the summer we shared, she was gone when the autumn breeze swept in I slumped and lost my way, I felt dispair and solitude cave in on me Yet just as I stared into the void thinking the unthinkable She came back to me, She picked me up Saved me from the abyss of self loathing She came back because above all, friendship is worth saving We may have parted yet we stay the same, My mind stays focused on my dreams And my heart stays focused on the words i write
