So, last night I randomly had the urge to write... neither are the best ever but they're ok.

Forging a path down a new road of life
Never truly knowing what lies ahead.

Meeting with forces of terror and strife
Wishing that sometimes you could just stay in bed.

The road is so tough, yet if we’re alone
Perhaps it is time to travel back home.

Many we meet are meant to bring joy
Yet still there are those that are constantly mean.

Some friendships may hide and try to play coy
But others are blatant and seem so obscene.

Feel blessed and lucky for all that He gave
Our lives are too short, so stand up, be brave!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are gifts from above that cannot be explained
Your council and wisdom shine bright through the rain.

Who would have guess that this work could appear,
To have created a friendship so dear.

That which you teach and offer to me
Is that which will show me my destiny.

How on Earth could I ever repay
The confidence you give me to live every day?

A hundred million thank you’s aren’t enough
I will love you forever, and that shan’t be rebuffed.
