My greatest blessing is one that was never given
A treasures that begged to be found,
Like a wide-eyed child Easter morn
I searched nooks and crannies for what seemed like forever
Groping for any shard of happiness in those dark lonely days
Craving truth and solidity of anything, anything at all!
Finally, hidden in an undiscovered corner
Came the invisible shimmering promise of friendship
Storm after storm raged tossing me about like a rag-doll angry words hit like waves
My spirit became invincible, The malicious taunting of others almost laughable
We knew truth from childish lie
Though insults rained down causing flushed cheeks to dampen with tears
I held tight to my treasure, someday it would be alright.
That's what he promised
And you know...
He was right
Peace on earth finally came, one dark wintry December night
Descending a staircase carpeted in faded blue
Grateful tears slid down paled cheeks
No longer would there be heated arguments
Neglect was gone, finally dead
Silently I thanked the Lord for this treasure I have found
Years fly by like seconds it seems
We are still as close as two friends can be
He saved a once hopeless empty soul
Hazel eyes now dance with light
Yes, life's hidden trinkets are the best


Dedicated to my best friend Frog
