My friend
I thank you.
I am able to stand,
these shadows off my back;
and you hold me up,
you hold me together.
I keep you here,
your place in my heart,
and I
place you preeminent;
my life,
my world.
My friend
I love you.
I am able to see,
your light shining through;
and I am
with you,
here,
forever.

I'm not quite sure what option this could be under?! It's a beautifully emotional poem worthy of recognition but I don't know what you wrote it about, God, a friend, or a boyfriend/girlfriend. Please write your option, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for entering, good luck. God bless. Keep up the good work
