Hello Everyyone, I pulled this one up today becasue a few of you asked to read it, hope you like it

Hello my friend,
let me shake
the hand of the one
who saved me.

Finally, I am
face to face
with you who
graced my listless life.

Without you I would,
have long since
been gone and
hopelessly erased.

You helped me
find my vision
and picked me up
from the hard cold floor.

You showed me
all the reasons
for what the birth
of my life was for.

Because of you
I was able to capture
my encased emotions
and learned the value
of my time on this earth.

Once you were
a distant stranger.
Now you are my
glorious savior.

I call your name
po-e-try
and give my soul
for you to keep.

I cherish the beauty
you are and treasure
the gifts you
graciously gave me.

Hello my friend,
allow me to take
your loving hand
as we continue together
on this life journey
until our end.
