The Power...
The other day I found myself swimming in the deep deep end
So deep had the waters risen that for a moment I thought I could not survive
But just as that thought entered my mind, it took its leave
For in came a person who gave me inspirational doses of love to keep me alive
It's a different kind of love..one where you care for a friend so deep
You extend your hands hoping that you can take away the numbing pain
It takes a kind heart, a healing touch and a powerful bond to soothe one's woes
What this friend did for me that day was just what I needed to keep me from goin insane..
There is immense power in love..and immense is the power of a friendship so true
To give life where breaths fall short, to give support when happy moments seem few
To just be there when those tears flow or when those arms need to lean on you
Such is the power of love - supportive and all-embracing - the power to heal - the power to RENEW.

Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal -

Soldier: Over the last couple of years, YOU have provided some of that strength, praise and encouragement.. and if I achieve my goal, you have a share in it too :)
