I got a message today from one of my nurse/friends in Arizona. She was having a difficult day until she remembered a poem I wrote for her three years ago. She has kept a copy of it clipped to her lanyard since I gave it to her. She told me that on her break she sat in her car, unclipped the paper, and read the poem over and over. My writing gave her the strength to get through the challenges she was facing. I wouldn't normally post something I wrote specifically for a friend, but she implored me to post this poem. She wants me to share these words with all of you. Thank you for indulging her.
When I was scared and feeling alone
You stood by my side
When I thought all hope was lost
You gave me reason to believe
When I was immersed in darkness
You showed me the light
When I felt trapped within my sadness
You helped me break through
When I no longer felt joy and happiness
You brought my smile back
Your kindness changed my life
And I will forever be grateful
I will never forget the love you showed me
So, always remember
When you need a friend
I will be there for you
