I can’t imagine living in

A world without you here.

A world where I was all alone

Without your assistance near.

You’re the one I always turn to

When a day is going bad,

When I need a bit of good advice

Or someone to make me glad.

Your wacky sense of humor

Always makes me laugh.

You can turn my frowns right upside-down

And cut my bad moods in half.

You’re the only friend who sticks with me

Through all the thick and thin.

Who puts up with all my bullshit

And still presents a grin.

You’ve saved my life many times

Whether you know it or not.

You’ve convinced me to try and stick it out,

Shown me I’m worth a lot.

I could never in a thousand years

Thank you for all you’ve done.

I hope you know I appreciate

All your work; it means a ton.

I know sometimes it feels like I

Don’t hear a word you say.

I swear to you, it isn’t true,

I think of your words every day.

I don’t think I could ever really

Express how thankful I am,

To have a wondrous friend like you,

A guarding, guiding hand.

Thank you, Chigens.
