COME ON IN, JOIN ME FOR A CUP OF GRATITUDE

Perhaps it was faith, but not a coincidence,
At the moment we first met many years ago.
My first sense, I felt if I already knew you,
Even when it was minutes into our first chat.
Little did you realize, I prayed every night,
Asking for His guidance, looking for direction.
Just when I thought it could never happen to me,
Judging by introductions, I hit the jackpot.
Once the formalities were over, I just knew,
Nothing less than a lifelong friendship forged that day.
Even now I reminisce our conversations,
Sharing your words of wisdom was your gift to me.
Yet, you expected nothing in return for this,
Making it even harder to repay my debt.
Chats over morning coffee, walking by my side,
As my mentor and dear friend remains a blessing.
Voices remain of the many lessons you taught,
Placing a new chapter into my life’s journey.
Here’s to you, even when I can’t thank you enough,
Rejoicing the day He brought you into my life.
