About the Poem
This poem, written when I was 13 years old, was for one of best friends - to let him know exactly what he was to me and why I needed him in my life.
What You Are To Me |
| by Bernice Ellrick |
| I am a rose, you are my thorns, clutching to me, protecting me. I am the sun, you are my rays, helping me to shine and to be all that I can. I am a lake, you are my water, filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future. I am a tree, you are my leaves, sharing who and what I am and becoming an important part of my life. I am a heart, you are my beat, beating rhythmically to my happiness, my fear, my sadness, my excitement I am me and you are with me, to share all that I am, to share life, love, and happiness. Always. |

I was looking for a poem to give to my husband. I, of course, cannot write beautiful poems. Therefore, I had to find one that fit just right. My husband and I are celebrating our 12th year together. I felt this was a great reflection of my thoughts.
