What You Mean To Me

In the steady creeping pace of day to day

So much that we forget to say

And for the moments, fleeting be

Let me tell you what you mean to me

The ripples that travel through my soul

That you placed there, from what you show

Make me today who I am

You've helped me be a better man

From a laugh we have or evenings late

Or the work we both procrastinate

In the jokes that only we may share

Or simply knowing that you care

With the Muse I wait breathless for your song

Fey given glamour from your mind

And it's been within you all along

Just leave your doubt and fear behind

These moments on which our hearts thrive

The essence you feel down at your core

The spirit your voice has given life

Or that greeting we've each been waiting for

Every story you'll ever tell

and every laugh you'll ever share

and that single life that you might change forever

By sharing that someday with them somewhere

From the mundane to the divine

Whether we've shared moments or we've shared years

Whether epic journey or just spending time

I cherish every smile and every tear

There is so much greatness within you

It's why I've chose to call you friend

Remembering all we've been through

That I've taken this chance to pen

I could write on and on and not repeat

Of the daily contributions that you make

And the moments we've shared in my mind so sweet

You've made this a life to celebrate

Thank you.
