The Light at the End of the Tunnel is Friendship

The day slipped quickly up on me,

The night was all to brief;

The sleep that never quite caught up,

The lack of much relief;

I thought I’d reached the ropes loose end

And found that it was frayed.

But I’m so glad I didn’t quit,

That I hung on and stayed,

For in the chaos of this day

I found more than my share

Of people bent on showing me

How very much they care.

There was the laughter and the hugs

Which spoke of so much care,

That all my weariness dropped off.

I left it lying there

And stepped into a whole new smile

That you’d laid out for me.

So thank you for this lovely day,

It fit me perfectly!
