Wise Friend

Having you as my friend 
I learned that there are those, 
few who believe a friend 
is cherished, not mocked or set aside 
for any reason. 
Having you as my friend 
has lifted my spirits, made my days brighter, allowing me to be me 
you encouraged me to not just 
accept each day as it comes, but 
to make each day count. 
Having you as my friend 
opened my heart to achievement 
take a stand for myself because 
no one else will, to expect the 
unexpected. 
Having you as my friend 
has me not lonely, but missing you 
greatly now that I can't visit 
you as much as I'd like. 
Having you as my friend 
has been, will always be forever 
kept close in heart and on my 
mind. 
Having you as my friend 
is what I wanted, and yet not expected, 
Leaving others jealous. 
Having you as my friend 
and I as your friend is a 
friend that is, 
PRECIOUS.
