From Callie, With Love

Forgive me for boring
But you've always borne my painful art.
So I just take it for granted.

There were days I came to college
With a heavy heart.
There were days I felt my mind ripped apart.
My morning prayer would be filled with questions
That I never dared to ask

And we'd begin our normal chat
And we'll talk till our mouths run dry
I never wanted you to know my ugly heart
So everything would just stay inside.

But that's the miracle of our friendship
The one that He breathed into
He would speak into your heart
And the words would just fall through.

The very words that I needed to hear
The ones that heal and make light reappear.

I've always been proud and bold
You know why..?
Because my friends; I could always try..
They would never their affection withhold...
They would always protect me and love me
Even if; To others I looked cold.

I wonder how my life would have been
Without you guys...
With just mom, dad, sis and me
And everyday I say thank you
For this gracious gift that only few receive.

Its great to have fun
Its great to be together
But our lives are different.
And we may not always need each other.

Guys..God put us together
Not just for ourselves
But for Him and His great plan.
We've learnt a lot from each other.
And earned a lot more than we ever can.

Now its time to show the world the lessons we learnt.
To show those watching
That we're doing just what He dreamt.
That our friendship's was not a passing cloud.
But helped us each to build our life in the very way He loved.

I don't believe that its for us
The parting pain and the farewell cry.
It'll never end you know
The love and the joy..
And its true that we'll never know how to say good bye.

I hope that I never have to mail you with those dreadful words..
"I miss you man.."
But even if we move different ways.
I'd still be glad that you're in His hands.

I'm sorry guys
I tried really hard to give back
My best I did, to show you that I care.
But somehow I could never be fair.

-Callie
