To a friend who has always been there, to a friend who has listened to all my pain.
Thanks to you, I have someone to turn to, someone to run to when things go wrong.
All the frowns I've worn that you've turned into smiles.
All the times I wanted to die, you have led me the way. Thanks goes to you.
Without you, my life would be like the moon without the stars.
I would have no one to brighten my horizons and widen my spirits.
No one can come close to measure up to all the things that you've done for me.
Letter by letter my spirits were lifted, and I knew that if I ever needed you, you were there.
So thanks goes to you for everything. For giving me sight for tomorrow.
Thanks to you, I have someone to live for, someone to look forward to.
Thanks for always being there, for believing in me and our friendship!
I have a friend who has been abroad for a number of years and I miss him so much. This poem describes what he means to me exactly. Thank you.
Thanks To You
