This is a little poem that I wrote absentmindedly one night when I was writing a letter to my friend Teresa to tell her how much I appreciate her. It goes out to all of my friends, all those who have put up with me, and who have been there for me and with me through everything. I love you all.
It takes a lot...to be my friend.
I demand too much, I know.
But if not for you, and the time we spend,
I'd have no other place to go.
The sands of time will shift, you'll see,
the sun will keep on burning.
But still, I know, you'll be with me...
as long as the earth is turning.
My heart and yours are like as one,
we know eachother true.
and even when this life is done,
I'll still be able to turn to you.
God has placed you in my way
for resons only He would know.
For you, I think Him, and I pray
that this is how life should go.
