Alone in a corner
with tears in my eyes
My heart slowly breaking ~
you heard my silent cries.

Reaching out your hand
I'm grateful you were there
To help and to comfort
to show how much you care.

You wiped away my tears
and gave me peace of mind
A friendship was formed
that was so hard to find.

You smile through my tears
and cheer me when I'm blue
I wish I could be like
the friend I have in you.

Together we share thoughts
there's no need to pretend
I know we will always be
forever best of friends.

"This poem I wrote about  a very special person who first came to me when I needed a friend the most ~ when I was in an emotionally abusive relationship.   He was a light in the dark and a shoulder to cry on ~ we became very special friends.  He too wrote me a poem very similar to this about the same time, unfortunately my ex-husband destroyed it.  I will be forever gratfeul to him for his friendship at that time.   I dedicate this poem once again to him....thank you, D."
