...............THANKS MY FRIEND............

Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world,


You entered, bringing light and life to me,

The vivid colors, painted with a swirl

Of wit and charm, of personality,

With tender care, you added comfort, warmth,

And images that line the now bright walls.

I look upon them fondly, bringing forth

A thankfulness that you walk in these halls

With me; our friendship has become a part

Of my world now; it has its special place,

Within my being, life, and in my heart,

Your name hangs right beside your smiling face.

Rememb'ring just how drab these walls had been,

I have to thank you for the light, my friend
