I was sitting at my desk thinking

of the words i wanted to say, but they just wouldn't 

fit perfectly

So i thought of a different way

I took a piece of paper

and started writing this poem for you

Cause its the least i could do to thank you

for everything you have done

For always being nice to me

and believing in me

For helping me get through tough times

and never leaving me behind

For accepting my thoughts and feelings

and staying by my side

For never giving up on me

and being my friend

For willing to share my pain and

For knowing how to cheer me up

when I'm down

with your words of encouragement

Now, before my imagination runs wild

it's time for me to go

But before i leave this ink-filled page

there's one thing you should know

As long as we're breathing

no matter when or where

if you ever need me

just call and I'll be there

I'll do what i can

just to be there for you

cause you've been there for me

whenever i needed you
