My Friends, Thank You Very Much Poem by RIC BASTASA

my friends, at the end of the year
let me thank you
from the bottom of my heart
despite the tragedies and
difficulties, you have been with me
in the highs and lows of my life,
let me thank you then
for the kind support
for the advices
for the hugs and pats on my shoulder
without you i would have not been here
in this place where the beams are stronger
where the walls have been taken away
where our roofs look directly into the skies
to see the myriad stars

without you i am nothing
let me thank you then

everything in me shall be changed for the better
except you my friends

you will all be the same friends of mine
older, bolder and happier.

happy new year, a toast for good health, happiness,
for prosperity, for more blessings from God.
