An Unusual Friend

Sometimes friends appear in the most unlikely places
our angels who drop in to rescue us
at the most unlikely time
when we need them most

that's what you've been to me
you've understood far more than anyone else could
you've been patient, kind, and most of all giving
to someone who you owed nothing to


you've talked me down from the ledge of life
and allowed me to stand firm and strong
with the idea that the future will be brighter
because you knew it better than anyone

you've been through what i've been through
but you don't take advantage like the others
you know what it's like
and you've been an unusual friend to me

through all the phone calls
you've been pleasant
soothed my soul
how corny does that sound?

there's nothing that i could ever do to repay you for your generosity
you will never be able to realize how special your insight has been
how your accuracy has made me happy
and you've shared your gift from god with me

thanks for being my friend who came to me through unusual circumstances
for sharing the brightness of the future with me
for allowing me to smile when i felt like crying
and making me want to live when i felt like dying

i owe it all to you, my unusual friend
whom i hope to meet one day
the future only gets brighter
and everyday i get happier, stronger, and feel much more alive
