Picture this..

Can you imagine, being utterly alone?
Feeling as though no one could ever care the way you do?
Having no one to turn to...
Wishing, hoping, praying for someone, anyone to care.
Beginning  to lose the little hope you muster
When along comes a stranger, full of genuine care and concern
Asking if you truly feel un-loveable
And it touches your heart in ways you have no words for
You spend the night sharing stories, tragedies, and concerns
You suddenly have a friend over night
and it makes life feel alright
You think it to be a passing moment

But it's not.
It is much, much more
The concerned stranger becomes your one true best friend
He becomes a reason to stay strong
Things no longer feel wrong
You no longer feel alone
No longer feel the darkness that consumed you
Unknowingly, he changed your life

With each passing day, it becomes easier to smile
He helps make life worth while.
You no longer wish for the end.
And you thank God for giving you a true best friend.
