a poem for my friend "just because"
just because the sun sets over the west
doesn't mean it sets to ne'er rise again
just because your eyes
don't gleam with ecstasy
doesn't mean it is not in store for you
just because you were
sad once
doesn't mean you cannot smile at the happy things
just because you are beautiful
does make you who you are
just because you are
wonderful
does make mens hearts a flutter
just because you have
lovely hair
just because you have that stare
just because you are you
i wrote this poem
... just because
...
i call you my friend
just because it brings meaning to my life
just because we are defined by those whose hearts we touch
just because you have brought mine out of darkness
just because you are you
just because
is why i thank you
