Poem for a Friend...

You are a miracle…
You’ve been my companion… and saved my life
You’ve been my shoulder to cry on… my confident
You’ve been my partner… in loss and in triumph
You’ve been my friend… so I was not alone
You’ve been my eyes, my ears, my legs…
     My heart and my soul
You’ve taught me… about who I am, and who I can be
You’ve shown me… what it is to feel freedom, to fly
You’ve carried me… through fire and ice…
     Over barriers… some said we could never overcome
