For Johannes Leonardo. Thank you for always being there... <br /> <br />This I dedicate to a friend I love so dearly <br />Whose sincerity is engraved in serenity <br />It is for you, for it’s in you <br />I found a friendship so true <br /> <br />The hand of friendship you offered <br />Has created wonders in my life <br />And your spirit has encouraged me to strive <br />The warm smile has eased my sorrow <br />During the days when I feel so low <br /> <br />Thank you for being so true <br />And for lifting me up when I’m blue <br />It’s with you I never feel solitary <br /> <br />Never have I thanked you <br />For the shoulders you lent me <br />For the comforting words that gave me strength <br />For your presence in the long night hours <br /> <br />Never have I thanked you <br />For being simply like you are now <br /> <br />It is for you, dearest friend <br />The one who deserves all the love in the world<br /><br />Saskia Harjono<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-true-friend-you-are/
