Be patient. Take your time.
Good friends are hard to find.
If relationships were easy?
You’d never mine your kind.
I waited a lifetime
To unbury my heart.
Then he came from nowhere.
The whole to my half-a part.
I used to think
I was just a lost cause.
Then along came my mister
Once I settled on who I was.
Then came my daughter.
My very best friend.
We’ll always have each other.
Every day, to the very end.
It’s more important
To know one’s self
Than to put your love
On the lowest shelf.
It’s oftentimes tumultuous–
Sometimes you run aground.
But there is no life-saver.
Everyone will let you drown.
The simple fact is this–
You have to pick your hurt.
Find the friends who deserve
To get everything you’re worth.
People will make a mess.
People will let you fall.
But good friends stitch you up
After toppling off that wall.
Don’t forget.
You’re loyal.
Kind.
Intelligent.
Loving.
Beautiful.
Unique.
Capable.
Worthy.
Valuable.
Patient.
If you give away who you are to the wrong person, the right person will miss you.
Good luck.
