To my dear friend

Each and everyday you wear your beautiful smile

Persevering with such strength through life’s trials

But when the sun sets there is a sorrow in your eyes

A sorrow you are trying ever so hard to hide

I am scared to ask you why

Knowing you will hold back the tears and tell me you are fine

As I leave, your tears will silently fall

That voice inside you, making you feel so small

Know that you are stronger than you imagine

Your heart is one filled with compassion

Despite what your mind may suffer

You always lend your hand first for others

So don’t ever let yourself be put down

Because your quality is greater than the crowd

Plant your feet firmly on the ground

And wear that smile of yours with a crown

My dear friend,

Not many have been through what you’ve been through,

Yet you are still so gentle, so kind, so true,

So wear your smile of yours,

Because you are,

Beautiful you ❤
