A very few of these friends, know some of my life story and what I have been through. I'm not looking for anyones sympathy, believe me. I was a victim, but I am now a "survivor"! I don't believe anyone, let alone a child, should be the victim of anything that will have a detrimental effect on their lives, ever! I'm proud to say, I'm a survivor of physical and mental child abuse, sexual child abuse, and physical, mental, verbal and emotional abuse, as well as domestic abuse! I've become a stronger person through years of therapy and counselling. I still have a weak side that I may never overcome, but I'm working on that every day. If, by any chance, you're dealing with any kind of abuse, and I pray your not, please contact someone who will help you. There are enough agencies out there now-a-days to help those in need. If you would just like to chat, I'll be more than happy to listen to you. You'll find links to sites at the bottom of this page to help you to get help. Please take advantage of what is at your fingertips, and dont let go. You have to be willing to take that first step to recovery, (and that first step is always the hardest to take) and you're the only one who can do it. You won't be alone, I reassure you. I know first hand about the fear you feel, I've been there!
Hold fast to your dreams, and dont let anyone take them from you. They are yours and yours alone. Only you know what is right for you.
Once in a while, a friend is found
Who proves right from the start
To be the special kind of friend
Who really warms the heart.
Once in a while, a friendship's made
That's really lasting, too --
And that's the kind of friendship
I have known since I met you!
I have a very special friend
Who has touched a part of me.
This very special friend of mine
Has touched my soul, you see.
Through gentle words of love,
And the understanding of me,
This very special friend of mine
In my heart will always be.
We have so many things in common
But still we're worlds apart.
The people that we love,
Share different parts of our heart.
This very special friend of mine
Has completed my whole life.
My friend has put a frame around
The picture I call life.
My life was nothing but a picture
Without a perfect frame,
My life is so much better now,
It will never be the same.
This very special friend of mine
Has made my life complete.
Without this very special friend
I'd have given up in defeat.
This is for my special friend
And you know who you are.
For you'll always be so close to me
My ever shining star.
Why did this happen? How did it come to be?
Is there a reason behind it that we cannot see?
The bond of our friendship, can all this be real?
It can't be explained, it's something we feel.
For whatever the reason, each other we've found
Was it destiny or fate or something more profound?
The friendship we have, grows stronger each day
There's a "special bond between us" we could say.
What exactly drew us together, we may never know
But in our hearts the seeds of friendship did grow.
We confide in each other, without judgement or fear,
Miles may seperate us, but in our hearts we are near.
We have the ability to see when each other is blue,
Comforting and reassuring words that are true.
To some they may be just words on a screen,
But we know better, we know what they mean.
We're here for each other when the going gets tough
We help carry the load when it gets too rough.
You'll always hold a special place in my heart
You've touched my soul, right from the start.
Whatever the reason, we found each other that day
Friendship forever, that's the way it will stay.
The bond that we have is more precious than gold
"Those who have friends are rich" I am told.
Our friendship has a very special and undying love
A love I believe came from the heavens above.
For whatever the reason, you'll always be there
In a special place in my heart to love and to care.
Life holds so many priceless things
The falling rain--the wind that sings
Each star on high--a big full moon
And sunbeams dancing in your room
The river as it rushes on
A sunset when the day is gone
No wealth can buy a mountain tall
These priceless things belong to all
An autumn tree lends beauty rare
With leaves piled deep most everywhere
As nature wears a glowing smile
To make each day a day worthwhile
Could anything be quite as dear
As laughing children that we hear
The gift of friendship that is ours
The miracle of growing flowers
Each magic moment-treasured time
These priceless gifts are yours and mine.
You Are Here
