My World

You may not change the world today
but you will change mine...
You will lift me with your smiles,
You warm my heart because you understand me,
You raise my spirits when you make me laugh
You make me feel whole again just by holding my hand,
You restore my faith in myself as well as in others,
You lend me your strength when I need it most,
You make it easier for me to be brave enough to deal
with whatever comes next in life,
Because no matter what life might have in store,
I know you will be in front of me to protect me,
beside me to support me and behind me to catch me if I fall
You are my heart, my soul, my champion, my friend... 
The most important piece of me 
and truly more special than you could ever know.

Our Blessing

There is no greater blessing in life than 
understanding from someone who cares for you
Someone who is slow to criticize yet quick 
to offer support when times are tough
And because of this I know you love me 
and our trust be everlasting...
My disappointments turn into my greatest achievements
because I feel the need to celebrate you 
and all you are to me...
And while we may not understand it all and why things 
happen as they do,
Always know that I will be here as long as you need me
And my heart and thoughts will be with you 
long after I'm gone,
Take this comfort in knowing you will never 
have more than you can handle,
For I am with you always, now and forever.

Choices

I choose to call you my friend, the most important part of my life,

I choose to trust in you even though you know it isn't easy for me,

I will never take you for granted,

I choose to keep your secrets, as closely guarded as I do my own-

As I would expect you to because you understand how hard it is to             

      share them,

I choose to always protect you though you may not understand why,  

      and no matter what it costs me.

I choose to always put you first because it makes me happy to do so-

I choose to believe that the choices we have made has brought us together,

We understand what we want for each other,

      even when we don't understand what we need for ourselves,

I choose to allow myself to get close to you although I know I shouldn't,

I choose to believe it is most important to trust 

      in those you love in order to heal your heart.

My final choice would be to live each day with you in my life......

'Cause it wouldn't be much without you.

Someday you may choose to ask me about these choices I've made

       and I choose to give you my best answer-

I choose to give you a special place in my heart......

       because my friend, you have earned it !
