A Simple Thank-You, My Friend

 A Simple Thank-You, My Friend 

Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world, 
You entered, bringing light and life to me, 
The vivid colors, painted with a swirl 
Of wit and charm, of personality, 
With tender care, you added comfort, warmth, 
And images that line the now bright walls. 
I look upon them fondly, bringing forth 
A thankfulness that you walk in these halls 
With me; our friendship has become a part 
Of my world now; it has its special place, 
Within my being, life, and in my heart, 
Your name hangs right beside your smiling face. 
Remembering just how drab these walls had been, 
I have to thank you for the light, my friend.

I would love to see what the poets on this site think about this poem. Would you make any suggestions of anything I should change? I'm a new poet and I write as it comes to mind. I'm not ever good at figuring out the types of poems I'm writing, that's why I say that I don't know. I realize that I should probably study how to write different types of poems. To me though, I share it as it comes to mind and heart. Do you think this is a good way to write my poems? Please help with suggestions.
