Poetry "No Matter What" A Poem of Encouragement

[The Explorer]

When the Sky is Falling Down,
And your cries of pain are the only sound,
When your heart is hurting,
And lashing out in pain,
When I could not fathom why,
Or how it became this way,
I will still be here for you.

When you leave,
Thinking our friendship won't work out,
Or when your shattered mind,
Cannot handle the possibility of hurting,
I will be here for you.

I never once thought ill of you,
And I never will,
My only desire is that you are,
And remain forever happy,
No matter what I will always consider you my friend.

When life gets in the way,
And we barely have time to speak,
I want nothing more,
Than to be sure that your happy,
Not the struggle,
Nor my pain,
Will keep me from thinking what I always have,
I chose you as a friend.

Now know this to be true,
Hopefully as much as I do,
That in fact I never would have chose you as a friend,
If I thought you weren't worth it,
This message is to all whom I deem as my friends,
But words are cheap in times such as these,
So I would have it that you take all the time you need.

No rush or hurry,
Until i take my last breath,
I will consider you a treasured friend,
So take all the time you need,
When you feel like you need a break,
Or that your pain is too great,
Because one fact will always remain the truth,
You are my friend,
I chose you.

I may not choose my acquaintances,
But I do choose my friends,
And am very happy,
That you're one of them.
