Friends Before Lovers
I see my gleaming reflection in your smile
Your eyes tell a story of a man in search
In search for what is real
In search of trust, loyalty and honesty
In search of what you are destined to become
I hope that in your search you see me
I hope that you see my life story without words
If you see and don’t understand I will bring clarity
You are a dim light with the determination to shine ever so brightly
You are an amazing, intelligent and perfectly sculptured creation
An optimist of all circumstance
You are a teacher
A caretaker of life
A philosopher
It is by your lead
By your example
That I learn
Patience
Confidence
Inner beauty
Knowledge to get me through daily
Wisdom to carry with me through life
I see your focus
I see your struggle
I see you
I accept you for who you are and who you are not
I accept your reasoning
I thank you for taking time out for me
Taking time to repair a woman who has been left in shambles
Thank you for listening, advising and giving direction
Most of all I thank for being available and giving clarity in the midst of confusion
It is because of you I open my eyes and see things for more than just my way
My ears are open to heed indirect and direct warning
You have caused tears to cease
You have brought restful nights of pure bliss
For all your greatness I am blessed and appreciate it more than words can say
Your glorious being touches me
Your mind is like an illuminating piece of art never duplicated
Finally I want to thank you for touching, giving and gracing my life
For you have open doors of endless possibility and my dreams have just come
true
