Thank You

Thank you
For time that you gave me
For love that you show me
For advice you bestow me

Thank you
For opening your heart
For offering your home
For sharing your thoughts

Thank you
For being my friend
For squeezing my hand
For every encouraging word

Thank you
For helping me see
That life doesn't have to be
Exactly as I've seen it
But that it may instead
Be uniquely beautiful
Through the eyes of a friend

And finally, thank you
For hearing me out
For everything you are
For all that you mean in my life.
