Another poem I found from Yesteryears...such youth.

I stand before you as I am

And you love me anyway.

I cry on your shoulder

with a heart broken

and you say, "I'm here my friend, I'm here for you today."

You held my hand to give me strength

and allowed me, for you to do the same.

We've pointed each other toward the stars

and said, "That my friend is our aim."

I close my eyes and remember your smile.

The scent of your hug as the sun shone down.

Of all the joy & beauty there be

I am lucky to have been the reciever

for that smile of strength and hug of joy was there just for me.

We've never really been far apart

Although your there and I'm here

Our friendship has lasted for miles, for years.

And that is what truly makes us near.

You believe in me.

Now I believe in myself

For what we share

Is beyond the world's wealth

I have wondered,

How I did without you by my side.

Than I realize you were always there,

In spirit as my guide.

Now we sit and talk and talk some more

Time escapes us than it's late

We talk of the present, the future

And yesteryears when we were "The Great."

I know I am lucky

to have you in my life

To enjoy the happy moments with me

And help me through the strife.

I love you a lot my friend

You've taught me how to grow.

With you I've learned to enjoy my life.

And never to accept the so-so.

So as we walk the pathway together

I pray you'll always be,

Beside me, my friend, forever.

That is my dream for "We."
