My Friend
When my skies were dark,
And my days were dim.
You appeared,
a candle,
Shining the way.
Your spark led me,
To light,
to joy.
Your smile comforted me,
In times of pain.
Your shoulders,
my headrest,
In moments of hurt.
With laughter that chased the clouds away,
And kindness sewn through every part.
Now colours bloom where darkness fell,
I’m grateful for this path we share,
A path of love with a friend who cares.
