For a Friend

seeing the sun rise with glow this morn
its rays dancing among the leaves in the grove
I saw my tears dry like dew on village lanes
and for once, I found again the lost smile
that was missing for a long time ago

seeing the moon with the choir this night
this heart holds hope like a rock
to see this old heartache in love's cradle again
maybe I no longer will cry at night
as if all my dearest friends are gone

I Appreciate Your Kindness

thank you is not enough
to tell you my deep feelings
about your thoughtfulness and the gift of love
but in the absence of the right word

let this note thank you and say
the memory of your thoughtfulness
will be remembered
for many days and many nights
till this Breath leaves for Home

by your gift of love
I have come to know
you are a person who makes life easier and better
for everyone around you
your continual acts of thoughtfulness and kindness
and love brightens each day of my life
and what you did for me

will glow in my memory
reviving pleasant feelings every time I think about it
and should I not tell you in person
how much you mean to me
let this note tell it now, I appreciate your kindness
and thank you forever for the gift of love
that has made a difference in my life
