This Is For You, My Special Friend
Copyright © 1994 Timothy S. Klugh. All Rights Reserved.
This is for you, my special friend,
a poem from myself--
A message that I've longed to share,
a feeling few have felt.
For no one has ever freed me
my insecurities.
You've shown me that I'm not alone.
You're all I'd like to be.
Your voice is like a soothing song
of memories long past--
A song that beams of childhood dreams
with happiness that last--
Dreams that thrilled me with promises,
a future I might have--
A future filled with such delight
that I'd never be sad.
But, as I grew, those dreams soon died
and the darkness came in.
The light I had was lost in youth,
and despair dwelt within.
Through tear-worn eyes, I kept the search
to find someone who knew
The yearning that I felt inside--
Not knowing what to do.
But, like a gift, you came along
and eased me of my fears.
This poem is for you, my friend,
to last you all your years.
