To Joshua

To My Dear Friend Joshua

Although the days seem soft and weary
Although this world can get tough and dreary
Although the cruelty is getting stronger
Although you feel you can’t take it any longer

There’s simplicity in the sunshine when we walk into the light
May your days be filled with the joy everyone deserves
The way life treats us may not always be right
We must accept the bumps and curves

Even if the darkness overshadows the sky
Even if my liveliness can’t tell you why
Even if you need unpretentious praise
Even if you don’t ask throughout the day

I know that joy is given freely through friendly conversation
happy smiles can be worn whenever the heck we wish
If someone feels they need dear confirmation
I will definitely be here to assist

He sounds like a marvelous friend. Is it a friendship since childhood? That would be so lovely to have.
