A hopeful memory of the future from a friend who believed
He will give and give, all that he has.
No broken heart will he ever pass.
Daily striving for better things,
As he lifts others on his gentle wings.
Often will he think that man
Is better off with his hand
But little will he realize that
He’s changing lives along his path.
This soul who seeks for no reward
Is the one I owe each tuned chord
Of the song I play in my heart
He’s written in a lovely part.
He’ll share and share with everyone
Who may stumble, fall, or who’s run-
Out of hope... but with his eyes
Will plead and face them towards the skies.
Touching softly with his love,
Scars which hurt they are made of,
Turning them from black into gold
Placing warmth upon the cold.
The world is his canvas
And patiently he paints
Beauty into every inch
That anxiously awaits
To be filled with color
Or even just to see
What may happen- after all,
he’s painted upon me.
And in painting, he creates a gift
That fills some relentless rift
That once did hurt, but now cannot
Because it’s filled to rise aloft.
No matter where the wind may blow
May God watch over you, and know,
That when you think life’s at its end
You’ll always always have a friend.
