LIKE THE SUMMER SUN THAT SHINES ON HIGH
LIKE THE SOFT WHITE CLOUDS THAT FILL THE SKY
THE WARMTH FROM YOUR HEART SOOTHES MY SOUL
LIFTS ME UP AND MAKES ME WHOLE
MY RAY OF HOPE MY GOOD LUCK CHARM
WITH YOU IN MY HEART I FEAR NO HARM
SO LONG I WAS A SAD SULLEN FOOL
WHOSE LOATHSOME LIFE WAS SO CRUEL
BUT NO MORE I DREAD WHAT LIFE MAY BRING
I OFFER TO YOU MY FRIENDSHIP RING
YOU KNOW THE REAL ME AND NOT THE CLOWN
NOW I SMILE I NO LONGER FROWN
SO MANY HAVE TRIED TO FILL MY HEART
BUT NO ONE COULD TAKE YOUR PART
SO IF YOU READ THIS AND YOU KNOW IT IS TRUE
THEN THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU
MY DEAREST FRIEND....TILL THE END.
