Those I love

This is the first post I have put up (obviously). It would have been something new, but I'm in a hurry and kind of felt obligated to post something. This is a poem that I wrote last April or May for some awesome friends and beings who helped me through the toughest times in my life. ENJOY!!!

Those I Love
~by Sharina Marie Schaller

To you who have shown me your unending love,
It’s hard not to believe there is someone looking out for us from up above.
To give me your all,
And help me when I fall,
To help me and show you care,
Always and even if life doesn’t seem fair.
To you who have helped me live,
All you have done for me is give and give and give.
Even if I don’t seem like I trust,
Never have you let our friendship be a bust.
Even if I say that I live my life in fear,
Forever and always you will be here.
Sometimes I wonder whether God is real,
But then you show me love and I know He is the true deal.
How much you care and love me and show comfort,
You help to ease the pain, the suffering, and especially the hurt.
Even when my life is out of control and a mess,
You never turn your back on me or say that you could care less.
Some days it is difficult to live,
but you succeed in making me smile.
It seems like it may never happen,
but it usually just takes a while.
Some days it seems it will just be tear after tear,
With just one call I know God and a friend are near.
Sometimes it feels like the end is never going to be in view,
But you know how to comfort me and succeed in helping me get through.
At times I try and put up a fight,
But you fight back and leave me with such amazing and beautiful insight.
When it always seems a struggle day after day,
All I want to do is just to get away,
I remember Psalm 139, that God knows my heart,
I continue to push on because I know we will never be apart.
My life would be nothing and it may not be much,
But you help calm my fears with your loving and gentle touch.
God has shown me multiple things,
The biggest is that angels do exist, even those without wings.
When the gap in my heart seems to be infinitely wide,
I can make one call and in you I can confide.
I think of the memories both funny and sad that we share,
I reminisce about the good times, those memories will always be there.
When I want to give up you are only one call away,
And no matter how much I complain,
you always seem to know what to say.
I now know what it feels like to be part of God's family, my friend,
To have such amazing fellowship, I know this friendship will never end.
Even if you do not always understand,
You never hesitate no matter what to lend a helping hand.
So to you that have shown me your unending love,
God shows me only a bit of what waits in Heaven, with Him up above.
I just want you to know that it means so much to me everything you do.
I just want to say thanks and that I love you!!
