No Longer just a Grain of Sand

Small and insignificant,

hidden among the rest,

You were there with me,

but you hid well my friend.

With each challenge life throws my way,

you'll be there, holding my hand,

never letting go, never going away.

With each new challenge,

with more experience and strength arise,

if the heavens permit, please,

stay by my side.

Near or far, you'll try your hardest,

with heart so pure and fair and full,

I'm glad I can see you now,

you're above the rest.

As the time ebbs and flows with life's waves,

I will grow old and weak,

you say you'll be by my side,

even when life's breath fades and we turn grey.

No longer a just a grain of sand,

you have stood out from the rest,

I love you dear friend,

a love that others see firsthand.

You're no longer a grain of sand,

you're my diamond,  

found in times of rough,  

welcome to Heaven my friend,

population: us.
