Friends Like You

The reason I've a smile on my worst days The light shinning ever brighter on my dark days The happy melodies playing continuously on my sombre days The hearts that continuously love on my most hated days Binoculars I can always use to see light at the end of this terribly dark tunnel Smiles that give me more than a million reasons to smile Faces shinning so bright, giving mine a hundred reasons to light up in style Songs of praise that give me more than a dozen reasons to be grateful time after time Hearts that give mine a reason to beat one more time The fuel I've been burning and will keep burning till I make it out of this dark tunnel Tongues speaking life to my dead situation Noses breathing life into the nostrils of this dead nation Eyes facing the hustle of continuously lifting up this downcast soul Ears listening to all the painful groans of this fainted heart Skins feeling the depth of the pain being felt by this bruised mortal, taking it all to heart Friends like you bruh Friends like you sis Friends like you genius Friends like you fam Friends like you man The Almighty knew I needed friends like you dear! Telling me you care, coz you really do Telling me you love me, then showing me you really do Trying so hard to be there for me, coz you said you would Wishing you would somehow do more for me, if only you could Sharing your small umbrella with me on my rainy days Friends I know I can trust Hearts I know care for me Minds that often think of me Knees that refuse to leave the ground Heads that bow down and talk to God on my behalf, year-round Friends I know I can always count on Shoulders I can always lean on Hands I know will always hold me tight Arms ready to embrace, warming the coldest of souls Backs strong enough to carry me to the hilltop; a place where like an eagle, my spirit soars Friends like you dear Friends like you sis Friends like you bruh Friends like you man The Holy One knew I needed friends like you genius! Walk into class then quickly check if I'm in Walk out of class to call me when you realize I ain't in You never get tired of updating me on all the materials I missed Always enjoy giving me a hand catching up with my schoolwork Taking pleasure in my success while helping me get over my failures, you hardly take a break Calling just to check on me Texting simply to know how my day has been Telling me you miss me, coz you really do Visiting me even when I stay miles away from your door Showing me I'm like a David to you; like Jonathan, loving me as your own soul Can't imagine what life would have been like What it would have been like without friends I like Friends I like keeping around, coz they've decided to stay Friends who take pleasure in being a blessing, in giving more than they get Sparing their most precious resources, their time, to cheer a heavy heart Friends like you man Friends like you genius Friends like you bruh Friends like you sis Friends like you fam God knows I'm eternally grateful for friends like you!
