The Thanks (3 "Cold " Poems, #3)

For saving what was left of me,

for bringing back my creativity,

for setting what was trapped inside me free...

for always being here to cheer me on,

for supporting me when I thought I was gone,

for being the sunlight to all my dawns...

for letting me see the world through freshest eyes,

for allowing me to cry my many cries,

for all the many pretty butterflies...

for prying me from the hands of bitter cold,

for telling me the things that you have told,

for being so amazing, so brave, so bold...

for the way your heart is so kind,

for the opportunity to freely speak my mind,

for the times you've made me laugh with things you find...

the cold is gone,

and I may live freely 

once again.

Thank you.
