When I awake in the morning <br />I think of your beautiful, sweet face and it makes me smile. <br /> <br />When I’m feeling weary <br />your tender words of comfort and support give me the strength to carry on. <br /> <br />When I’m having a difficult day <br />I miraculously receive an email from you and suddenly I’m laughing. <br /> <br />When something wonderful happens <br />you’re the first one I want to tell about it. <br /> <br />When I read stories of love and friendship <br />I immediately think of you. <br /> <br />When it seems like I receive nothing in the mail but bills and advertisements <br />you send me a letter and a package filled with goodies. <br /> <br />When I see an exquisite sunset <br />I wish you were there to share it with me. <br /> <br />When I hear a beautiful song that touches me <br />I want you to hear it so it can touch you too. <br /> <br />When something makes me cry <br />you wrap your arms around me and tell me that everything will be alright. <br /> <br />When I try to think of a way to let you know how much you mean to me <br />I write you a poem. <br /> <br />Thank you for being my friend. <br /> <br />(12/3/05)<br /><br />Shannon Chapel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-friend-4/
