I thought of you last night

how the stars twinkled when you smile,

how even though you’re all grown up

you’ve never lost your inner child;

 

how even though times have been hard

your sense of humor has prevailed,

and even when against all odds

your private outlook’s never failed.

 

I wish that I could be like you

to spark in others, inner light

you’re the sunshine in our days

and the beacon in our nights.

 

I felt your presence the other day

through all the problems and the strife,

and thought, how lucky I am to know

someone who adds so much to life.

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

I smile at the sentiment

there are just a few people I know who make the world a better place just by existing.
But man, I don’t want to get boring on this, but it does come across a bit Hallmarky, sorry
cheers,
Jess
