I remember how I found you In a cold area all alone Longing for your voice to be heard. I picked you up and brushed you off And went on to show you to the world. Many people were unappreciative While others were quite glad, As they saw the voice of reason And the talent that you had. I remember how I had you to myself You were a great idea, And a greater friend. How I wanted to put you on a shelf, And protect you until the end. I wanted to show you to everyone, Let them hear what you had to say. Many people brushed it off But you were the reason Some people were still alive today. We went on to share a message Of hope through good And bad times ahead. Our story moved through those in need And even got others out of their bed. You are my friend And I'm glad I found What other people lost Or could not seem to find. I cherish the bond we have And depart with the life we left behind.
