There are many blessings
Surrounding me
Every day
Beauty
Blessing
But most especially
Friends
You have taught me
Stood with me
Carried me
And followed me
We have laughed
Cried
And done both together
You share my passions
Showed me
What you are passionate about
Experienced life
Tragedy
And joy
Together
You have held my hand
Comforted me
Prayed for me

You have yelled at me
And gently corrected me
As needed
You have traveled the world with me
Served with me
And worshipped with me
My life is easier to navigate
With you in my boat
Storms rage
You hold the umbrella
The road twists
You steer the car
Valleys loom
You walk beside me
You remind me I am important
You make time and effort
Just to check in
With you
I know I will never disappear
So many things
To be thankful for
In this world
Sunsets
Seasons
Opportunities
But none of them
Would be as bright
Without your light
In my life
