My Blessing

My dear best friend, Shaylene,

You are amazing,

No, you are more than amazing,

You are absolutely wonderful!

Though you may seem shy and reserved on the surface,

You are so much more to me.

Your heart, warm and beautiful,

Reminds me that life is worth living,

And should be shared with people we care about.

And your laugh, Shaylene,

Sweet and adorable like strawberries,

Keeps me happy when life is tough.

For a single smile from my best friend, Brings back the joy that life can drain out.

But it’s your mere cuteness and meekness,

That makes me want to protect you.

Although you are scared of lightning and thunder,

And you scream my name when you see a bug,

It just makes me hope you’ll stay my friend forever,

And won’t get taken by some guy.

For I will be happy if one day a guy sees what I see in you,

And it will make me smile if you grow up and have a family of your own,

But, I hope that you will always promise me,

That whoever you’re with when you grow up,

That he will always know that he still can’t really have you.

And this is all to say, my friend,

That you are a blessing to me,

And that I am grateful for you.

Never forget who you are in Christ,

And know that I will drop everything, To come to you whenever you want.
