Each day I wake unto the world

My heart sore from the day before

I feel the pressure of life inside me build

The strain of many thoughts left unsaid

Yet, each day I wake and smile

And forge that extra mile

To be with the ones who give me hope

The people who help me cope

When all else fails

And I seem as a ship with no sails

And all the weight seems too much to bear

I always know they care

With returned smiles and thoughtful phase

They make each a little better day

With laughter in the air

Their happiness I share

They provide so much into my life

And take away the heartfelt strife

My mind is set at ease

Knowing them I always please

They give me gifts of friendship

I give them mine too

They give me all their blessings

I give mine too

For all the things so often said

For things I have thought alone in my bed

For all the things that in my mind lit

Only one seems to fit

Thank you
