Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world, br You entered, bringing light and life to me, br The vivid colors, painted with a swirl br Of wit and charm, of personality, br With tender care, you added comfort, warmth, br And images that line the now bright walls. br br I look upon them fondly, bringing forth br A thankfulness that you walk in these halls br With me; our friendship has become a part br Of my world now; it has its special place, br Within my being, life, and in my heart, br Your name hangs right beside your smiling face. br br Remembering just how drab these walls had been, br I have to thank you for the light, my friend.
