"Thank You For Believing In Me"
Thank you for believing in me when I found it difficult
to believe in myself... for saying what I've needed to hear sometimes,
instead of what I've wanted to hear... for siding with me... and for giving me another side to consider.
Thank you for opening yourself up to me... for trusting me with your thoughts and disappointments
and dreams... for knowing you can depend on me and for asking my help when you've needed it.
Thank you for putting so much thought and care and imagination into our friendship...
for sharing so many nice times and making some special memories with me.
Thank you for always being honest with me ... being kind to me...being there for me.
Thank you for being a friend to me in so many meaningful ways.

"Ain't Life Funny'
I learned to laugh inside my tears,
I learned to be human in my most wretched years...
I learned to feel when I wasn't being touched,
I learned to give when I didn't have much.
I learned to be warm when I was cold...
Living real humbly, I learned to be bold.
I learned to live when I thought it better to die...
I learned to laugh when all I could do was cry.
I learned from below what it's like up above...
While I was hated, I learned how to love.
It was on the move that I learned how to rest,
While at my worst, I learned my best.
I learned about God, when it seemed I was damned...
It is when I was lost that I learned that I am.
I learned to be rich when I had no money...
These things seem so serious, but hey...
ain't life funny!?
