FRIENDS ARE A GUIDING LIGHT
Good friends are a guiding light,
They help us to find our way,
No matter where they are in the world,
I know they will forever stay
By my side,
Keep me strong,
And as long as I have my friends close by,
Nothing ever seems wrong.
Scattered over continents,
Away from the physical touch,
But my friends are in my heart,
In my thoughts and I know this much
to be true and real,
As I feel sad and alone,
My friends will be standing by,
To love me and guide me home.
Celebration comes at every success,
And when I should fail my friends still stand there,
Keeping a smile upon my face,
Holding me up with their care.
Whenever times are dark,
And nothing goes my way,
My friends keep holding on,
And never shall they stray.
When my heart is light and full of joy,
When my eyes fill with happy tears,
My friends will smile alongside of me,
Showing their pride with their cheers.
When I should mess up,
I’ll hear their voices,
Telling me the truth
And how bad the choice was,
But even when the screw up seems so huge,
My friends will stand by my side,
Never letting me forget but always
Defending my pride.
A true friend is like a candle,
Glowing amidst the dark,
And from every corner of this world I know,
All those friends remain in my heart.
Flickers of light to keep me warm in the cold,
Sparkling reminders of what hope can be,
Keeping me safe from all harm and fear,
My friends are what make me be me.
So if you are my friend,
My guiding light through it all,
Thank you until the day I leave,
I’m grateful for you never allowing me to fall.
I appreciate the kindness, the warmth and the care,
I hold on to every happy moment that we have shared,
And from now until whenever the time shall come,
Just know I will always be there
For you as you were for me,
In your unwavering sense of loyalty.
To Aaron,
A friend whom I’ve shared so much with over the past two years. I’m grateful that through everything we’ve managed to remain friends and I hold you dear in my heart. you’re my homeboy for life, a true friend. You make me laugh, listen to and put up with my crap, I’m forever grateful for everything we’ve been through and glad it strengthened our friendship. Love you!
To Katie,
I will always be thankful for having you as a suite mate. We went through a lot and no matter what I know you’ll always be there. You always treated me just as your friend, seeing past the visual impairment from the start, and I will always love you for that. Can’t wait until our adventures when I’m back home where I belong. ☺ My crazy friend who always makes me laugh. Miss ya and love you loads.
To Claudia,
A confidant, a sister and someone I know has my best interests at heart. I can be so crazy and you just always accepted me for me. Remember the time you walked me into a tree and we all busted up laughing? True joy and happiness can only be found around true friends and that is what you are. love you and can’t wait to hug you again! Miss you!
To Grace,
My crazy ass home girl. So alike and so utterly crazy together. A party buddy, a confidant, someone to laugh with, someone to cry with. You always got my back and you know that works both ways. So looking forward to see you again. love you and miss you!
To Nitha,
Another big sister who made me realize during that first full day in Cali that angels are truly real. Forever I will remember the wonderful, giggling times we shared and the times you got me through some of the darkest moments. Always supporting me and being there when I needed you despite the thousands of miles between. Remember you will always have a home wherever I am. Hope to see you and give you a huge hug again some day. Love!
To Crystal,
We may never have met but you often are on the other end of a computer or a phone when I’m stressing out the most. I never thought it possible to become friends with someone online but four years later here I am, thanking you for the friendship you offered. Despite dark times, we got through it and I’m glad I met you. Abrasos chica. And remember when I’m home for good, LA will always have a spare bed for a loca Mexican to stay in. ☺
To Hannah,
Out of everyone listed here, you have stuck by me the longest having known me ten years by now. Sorry, you’ll be stuck with me for at least another twenty/thirty/forty, maybe more if you’re lucky. hahah. Know that you are the one person I run to for my conscience. Whenever I need telling off, you are the one who generally does it. From our lunches in the pub at college, to our cocktail afternoons, I love you and wish you the best for the future. You work hard and you deserve all the happiness in the world. I love you!
last but by no means least,
Bailey,
I know you’re a dog but you are the one that is always by my side, not only keeping me safe but loving me and being my ear and cuddle buddy when no one else is around. Wherever I go, you shall always be there and I hope you’re happy with me as I’m with you. Love you pup!
So thank you, to everyone who has touched my life. You guys all rock and I love you all. just remember, no amount of words can truly express how much I love you and appreciate you in my life.
lots of love and hugs
Marie
