The darkness has gone <br />for now, so it seems. <br />I'm myself once again. <br />I can feel the sun's beams. <br /> <br />I can feel all the warmth <br />that comes from my friends. <br />I can be a whole person <br />- there's no need to pretend. <br /> <br />My dearest and bravest <br />who just never gave in, <br />my sweetest and kindest, <br />with you I re-begin. <br /> <br />And even though I'll have <br />darkness always looming, <br />I know you'll be there truly <br />when it becomes dooming. <br /> <br />You're the light that shone through, <br />you showed me I'm me. <br />You showed that you care, <br />and now look! - I am free! <br /> <br />(Itajai - 05 October,2009)<br /><br />Melanie Walendowsky Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friends-443/
