Friends...

[*Song Bird*]

This Valentines day, I was thinking about all the friends that the Lord has blessed me with in my life. Some, I still hold close, some i hardly see anymore, and others have gone out of my life...so I wrote this for all of them...
He brought you in my life for a reason,
At a special time and season.
Words cannot even begin to say,
How he’s used you in such a wonderful way.
Maybe it was the words you had spoken,
When my heart had just been broken.
Maybe it was the fact you were near,
When I needed to share all my fears.
Maybe it was your beaming smile,
That caused me to get up and go another mile.
You opened your heart, and then did share,
How much for me you truly did care.
You showed me where I needed to go
When I was confused and did not know.
You taught me how to open my eyes,
Jump off a mountain and begin to fly!
Without you believing in me,
I do not even know who I’d be.
In my life you’ve played an important part,
And for that, you’ll always have a place in my heart.
Whether we be near or far
Regardless of where we now are.
One thing I know will always be true,
My heart will be filled with love for you J

Awesome poem!

This one really hits close to home for me. Almost too close- to the point of tears. I've had a couple of friends within the past couple of weeks commit suicide. Death is hard enough to deal with. Death of friends is extremely difficult and emotional. Friends killing themselves, is almost too hard for me to bear. The question always comes to mind..."Could I have done something more to keep them alive??" Well, I've had to answer myself, and encourage myself. Maybe I have been doing "something more" all along- maybe I kept them alive longer.

That is just what I kept thinking of when I read this poem.
