My Friend

My friend is far away in distance,
but never far from my thoughts.
My friend is known to me,
but we have never met.
My friend is kind to me,
and cares when others may not.
Although my friend has given me so much..
Laughter,
smiles,
and memories,
nothing is asked in return.

My friend has also given me a gift.
It is one that makes me want to search,
and learn...
It is a priceless gift
my friend has given me..
It allows me to reach..
further than I ever thought possible,
and attain goals not dreamed of before.
It has made me proud..
and more independent.

If, for some reason,
my friend and all of the gifts
were taken away.....
I would most miss,

My Friend
