A (nearly) Stranger wrote this for me

[subterranean]

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you
to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.
if u like?


Though I think it's a nice poem, I'm still wandering why on earth he wrote this for me..
Like Jim Morrison once said, "People are strange indeed"...

[amuse]

goodness! talk about touching someone's heart, darlin'.

[subterranean]

yeah indeed...

[mono]

"People are strange indeed . . ." (Morrison) especially infatuated people.
I once wrote four lines to a painstakingly attractive person, and it required about every ounce of bravery I had! I handed the short poem to her and nearly walked off briskly, until she called me back for a short conversation of "thank yous" in which I mostly remained aloof from embarrassment.
Nice poem, regardless. We all appreciate you, anyway, sub.

[subterranean]

Well thanks Mono, but the poem is not mine,,so nothing to appriciate about..;)
