I have a gem amongst my friends,
by all means the rarest boon.
I am so lucky to be blessed
with my very own Helium Balloon!
He buoys me up no matter what
he's got his own quirky style
An ever present cheer in every move,
he always brings a smile!
I thank him for the part he plays,
he's better than any cartoon!
With smile, charm and abandon
my very own Helium Balloon!
I have a gem amongst my friends
Soothing like the morning breeze.
The calm to my angry storms
My very own Angel of Peace.
When fury conquers in my heart
and mind by anger clouded
She only has to say a word or two
and I am by serenity surrounded.
It is impossible for me to remain
agitated in the least.
How can I possibly be irate around
my very own Angel of Peace?!
I have a gem amongst my friends
with a quality to be adored.
A listener he is beyond compare
my very own Sounding Board!
Whatever nonsense I may spout
he never turns away.
Interested or not, it doesn't matter,
he could listen on all day.
I turn to him in sure faith that
I will never feel ignored.
He is always there, ears wide open
my very own Sounding Board!
I have a gem amongst my friends
A wonder who always talks!
A constant source of entertainment
my very own Chatterbox!
She's more important than you'd think,
she's always animated.
The conversation just keeps flowing
a lull never created!
Its wonderful to have someone
who never fails to talk
when I just want to quietly listen.
My very own Chatterbox!
I have a gem amongst my friends
who's always here to care.
To cuddle and soothe with word and deed
my very own Teddy Bear!
He's there whenever I need him
to say that it's all right
To say that I can turn to him
for troubles,however slight.
If ever I call or search in need
I know he will be there.
To make me feel safe and warm
my very own Teddy Bear!
I have a gem amongst my friends
He isn't around all the time.
But if I ask, I'll get an answer..
He's my very own Helpline!
Anything and everything, all doubt,
I can refer to him.
Of answers, thought, philosophy
he's full up to the brim.
Sometimes, he doesn't even need to say
just give me a little sign.
I always find the right answer
from my very own Helpline!
I have gems amongst my friends
and I cherish them all.
My life it is a happier place,
thanks to one and all!

Feels like Alone
You must know what you are to me
I never kept it hidden.
I never made you guess, and it
wasn't something sudden.
We became friends, just like
most people do.
We talked, and as these things go,
our friendship grew.
Friends in this world are many,
the real ones are few.
Time passed and I realised that
one of mine is you.
Thats how it stood, not so long ago,
I hoped it was to last.
It did seem that way then, but now,
all that seems to be past.
It took so little for us to converge,
even less to drift apart.
Tangents in the arc of time, just a
passing touch to the heart.
That friendship so rare, and yet
so soon lost to me.
Was there time then to feel with
this vivid intensity?
So why, now when you have gone your way
with not a backward glance,
do I feel so faraway, so abandoned
so bereft of chance?
I miss you, there's not a doubt about it.
I am afraid to find
I know that I no longer merit even the
slightest place in your mind.
No, I cannot, WILL not risk my doubt
by asking you now.
To live in uncertainty as long as needed,
that, I can allow.
Friend, you are not here, and though
I need you not
When I do I will still hope that
I am not forgot.
I spare myself the time to see how
the distance has grown,
And for the first time, since I met you,
it feels like Alone.
I never kept it hidden.
