Is poetry bad
Some say it leads to madness
All the bleak winters
And sorrowful nights
But what of the Spring
And the budding flower
Does that lead to madness

Is poetry bad
Some say it leads to depression
All that built up feelings
Anger, sadness, fear and pain
But what of joy
And happiness, gladness, and glee
Does that lead to depression?

you are my friend
you guide me
you aid me
you give me your love

so I am in debt
I owe you my love
I owe you my aid
I owe you my guidance

you are my friend
I push your limits
I test your patience
I laugh at your fails

but you forgive me
and you laugh with me
and you test my patients
and you push my limits

for you I am grateful
my dearest friend
I would still be lost if it weren't for you
because you found me
and brought me back
I am ever in debt to you
my dearest friend

Life is like a river
it twists and it turns
it is hard to explain
it hits bumps and it slows
yet it is still beautiful
and it still gleams in the sun
through every thing
Life is like a river
