Remember all those times it was hard for you to breath?
I gave you my all just so you can smile. 
Remember the times you couldn’t take another step?
I was there for you.. I was your legs.


I wish you knew: that was love.


Remember when envisioning the future was challenging?
I stood in the dark with you and waited for the light.
Remember when birthing a dream was just a theory?
I demonstrated for you what faith beyond hope looked like.


I wish you knew: I believed in you.


Remember the moment you decided to take that leap of faith?
I cheered you on, relentlessly.
Remember that feeling of joy, that taste of hope that followed?
I was ecstatic for you. You did it!


I wish you knew: I celebrated you.


For all the times I could be there for you, I am grateful. 
Because of all the challenges we’ve faced together, I am stronger.
And every moment spent giving you wings, made me an encourager.
You’ve changed my world forever. 


The years have passed, but looking back
I see you smile..
I think you knew. You were my friend.


And here, today, I tell you this:
I’ll always be your friend.
