Gift
To have what I don't want to want what I can't have
Why is life full of expectations and downfalls?
The gift of a friend whom I did not expect
One that I actually care for and respect
Not wanting to hurt myself because of me
All I need now is to see that it can be reached
With some help from those who care
I might be able to actually share
Why do I still wonder why I am liked?
What is it about me that makes them smile?
Do I look funny? Do I wear a smile?
Or am I just lovable and it takes me awhile?
A while to notice that I can be loved, and am worthwhile
I know that I care for, so therefore cared by
Just to hear it from others makes me cry
I don't cry too often, so it comes truly from my heart
Never cold and calculating as I once thought
All it took was encouragement from one who cared
To show me that I was worth the fight and dared
It gives me tremendous hope to see what I could be
Mostly because of the faith that my friend has in me
I owe a great deal to this loving friend
I don't think anyone could ever bend
A friend from the start that I don't want to hurt
So I'll quit my own hurt to keep her from hers
A friend that I'll have forever and ever
I just am glad that it is there
