Thank You Friend

James J. Metcalfe
When things go wrong and life takes on...A disappointing
trend...I do not sigh or weep but I...Remember you, my
friend...I keep my courage and my faith...Because I know
that you...Have shown me how the grayest sky...Can turn to
one of blue...Your smile has illustrated that...This world is
not in vain...And confidence is all I need...To keep away
the rain...I contemplate the kindly words...That you have
said to me...And measure every moment small...Against
eternity...And then I feel as though my heart...Has reached
the rainbow's end...And all the gratitude in me...Belongs to
you,my friend.
