Of exploratory search, For companionship, You appeared before me. Along the journey, Of toils and snares, In reality that bites, You held my hands. Along the journey, Of disappointments, That dashed my hopes, You consoled me. Along the journey, Of darkening nights, That frightened me, You brought in the light. Along the journey, Of rejoicing happiness, That brightened my days, You shared them with me. Along the journey, Of naïve smiles, That brought laughter, You smiled with me. Along the journey, Of living peacefully, Without worries, You live for me. Along the journey, Of divine friendship, For many years, You were there for me. Along the journey, Of knowing Leslie, I have found a true friend, That is a wonderful part of me. |
