cry I feel a strong emotion for JPII, so I'm hoping this should help me feel better:
Friend
You are my brother, my true friend.
Who will walk with me to the end.
Even though you’re a man, your soul is still that of a child,
A man who has been loving, respectful, and kind.
I remember the hard times together we’ve been.
Even through the toughest currents and mightiest winds.
Your heart is a house with open doors and pulled back curtains.
You are true when things are uncertain.
During our difficult times in our life,
We search for the one to help us through the strife.
And the words of strength and faith that you hold in what’s mine,
Gives me the sureness that you will always be inside.
You are the light of my soul in all my days work.
You smile and embrace me when I most hurt.
You tell me truths so great with light words,
My soul escapes and flies with the birds.
You may see it unnecessary for me to say these ends,
But it is a good feeling to know that you are my great friend.
