Thank You

What I've noticed for some time But only recently began to understand Is that happiness can stop on a dime Ruining your whole day and anything you've planned There's nothing you can do about it Nothing at all you can say But just because I don't want to talk about it Doesn't mean I want you to go away Sometimes just knowing your here Means more than any words of comfort But you always try hard and your always sincere Your wealth of kindness never runs short Most people will never find A friend that truly cares Or someone who doesn't mind Being there when life just isn't fair After all was said and done at the end of the day You were there for me to help me through And for all this the only thing I can say...is, Thank You

Daniel, this is so beautiful..True friends are hard to come by. But when they do , they are truly a blessing in so many ways..Sometimes they can't say anything that will make it better but just knowing they are there with you through the silence makes it a little easier..At times no words can help but maybe a shoulder to lean on or a hug might..You are blessed to have a friend such as this, I hope you let them no just how much you love and appreciate them..Wonderful write. GB, Tyesha

Thank yous are nice words to hear, Daniel. For a real friend, that's all need be said. I love the message in your well written poem. Friends get us through the rough times, don't they? I can tell you are the type of person who is there for your friends when they need someone to offer support as well. Very nice poetry from a special lady.
