My Dearest Friend Poem by Jenny Santiago

Unbeknown to me, destiny made plans on my behalf,
Sending a woman of true beauty onto my path
She touched my heart in a special and unique way
And since became a part of my every day

From the first encounter she accepted me for me
Allowing my soul to run wild and free
Understanding everything I had to say
Never judging me in any way

Bonds of the heart then started to augment
As we talked for hours about pasts and present
With the utter most trust and belief to expose
The parts of ourselves that nobody else knows

She is my light house in the midst of a raging storm
Giving me hope and joy in a true to herself form
Together we laugh, dance and loudly sing,
Uplifting your soul like water from a mountain spring

Memory pictures we always create
In our book of life this will ornate
My friend - my oath to you to the end
True to you I will be, because you are my friend
