"My Journey and My Friend" (Spring 1997) Published Summer 2000 By the International Library of Poetry You are the single star in the vast void of space, Giving hope and direction to my lost and lonely soul. Like a candle in the wind I struggle to shine on, But as you are the globe which encompasses me, I can illuminate the world! My heart has weakened due to the immense pressures of life, But with your strong heart I can endure the harships and thrive! I need your strength, for I cannot make it alone; But with a little love and kindness, together we can accomplish anything! Through all of my life's journeys I shall never forget you, For you are my strength, my hope, and my friend! From my waking moment to my last conscious thought, You and you alone are in my heart! And I will love you with all of my soul and might till the end of time! I Love You!
