To Darren - Some Stars Shine Brighter

Listen to poem:

SOME STARS SHINE BRIGHTER

Some stars shine brighter 
Some waves crash stronger
Some winds blow warmer
Some days are lovelier

Some friendships are eternal...

During our lives we meet a lot of people
But some will conquer a special place in our hearts
They'll be the ones for whom
We'll fight a little harder
We'll cry a little stronger
We'll cheer a little louder 
We'll worry a lot over

They are the ones 
That will always be there for you
Laughing with your happiness
Holding you during your tears

Some are in the same city
Others on a continent away
The distance doesn't matter
For we carry them always
In our minds and in our hearts
So they're never really far away from our thoughts

So my dear and sweet friend
Thank you for allowing me in your life
For always be there for me 
Thanks for being my rock

You've a heart of gold
The most beautiful soul
Your light shine thru your poems
Your care and attention thru your words

I'll be always here for you too
Cheering for you every step of your way...
Take care of yourself and come back to us fast...

And... never forget...
To just be yourself
Because you're simply perfect 
Just the way you are...

...and very much loved, my dear friend...

Love you, Darren

I joined PoetrySoup today and Darren was the first to send me a warm welcome. The strange thing is that when I saw your poem, Claudia, I instantly knew that it was for the same Darren--although I had no idea of the history/situation. How strange. Your poem is beautiful and you are lucky to have a friend like Darren and he's lucky to have a friend like you. You both have a beautiful soul :)

This is wonderful, Claudia! I have no idea what's going on with Darren, but I have only been here since December, and he was one of the first people to befriend me and compliment my work, and I was struck immediately by his kindness and sincerity, and it made me feel at home here, (along with a few others). He is in my prayers and thoughts, and I am so thankful to have made his friendship. A wonderful tribute here, and a beautiful poem! Blessings!
