Thank You My Friend

Thank you my friend for teaching me to listen better,

For reminding me of my dreams

For accepting my gifts

For receiving my thoughts, and giving them a chance.

For helping me see that true companionship is possible by true communication—

Or that; communication of all levels really is companionship

For having integrity your whole life—which led you to being comfortable with like-minded,

Honest souls.

For being real--

--For being up, and down and acknowledging God.

For having an Open Heart and an Open Mind

For being a loving father

--And for your desire for a true companionship; one way or another.

For sharing your thoughts and dreams--

--For encouraging mine.

For seeing past flesh into the heart of all people

For treating all, young and old, shy, bold, pretty, not-so fancy, with respect and dignity and kindness

For acknowledging you feel, you hurt, you have pain, and want good, peace and true love; God’s kind

For being true to your marriage, through thick and thin, honoring the vows--

--And for allowing the free agency of men, women, children and spouse.

For focusing, through all and above all, on God—

And following Christ and trying to be Christ-like

For helping others, or always wanting to; For being interested, and interesting.
