To which I am thankful
Posted on 23. Nov, 2007 by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Dedicated Poems, Friendship
To my friends, the family you help me build,
every single one that has heard my voice,
read my words, shared my hopes and dreams,
or even found themselves somehow sharing this road,
No matter how far, or how little our time is,
I need to tell you something,
I am not perfect, nor do I care to be.
As if anyone can be, it is my truest family,
the friends who I know, and who know me.
I do not shy away from the moments I share,
as they become portions of everything I adore,
giving me memories that I can only be grateful.
I give my thanks to my friends,
the creative souls who inspire me,
and the caring hearts who believe in me.
I hold them near myself, as closely as I can,
knowing it is their very love that gives me strength,
to give them my gratitude, making this world a better place.
I give my thanks to you with heartfelt emotion,
a tear in my eye, and a smile on my face.
Caring enough that you are warm and happy,
peacefully content with this exact moment,
I give my thanks to you, for being who you are,
and for every second we have ever shared.
