Friend

You pull me out of the water before I drown
And make me feel like the only person around

You affirm me when I need a voice
And console me when no words need to be said

You show up when my world feels empty
And push me to keep digging when my shovel breaks

You have shared experiences with me that no pictures can create
And I want to thank you for giving me the faith that life can be great
