For My Sweet Friend Briana

Have you ever met one of those people who just inspire you to be a better person, but they have no idea the type of effect they have on others? I have. Her name is Briana Vedsted. She is without doubt, the sweetest, kindest person I have ever met, but she is so humble that she will never admit to it. I met Briana when she approached me early in the year to review one of her books, and she has quickly become one of my dearest friends. If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, please take a moment to do so. When I became an author

So Briana, this is for you little sis.

Going through life, looking at faces

finding new places, all begins to blend.

Once in a while we’re lucky, to find a special friend.

Someone who opens doors, makes us stop and think

about what this life is for.

Someone who makes us laugh, makes us smile,

reminds us that, it’s worth the while.

Someone who so often

doesn’t know the value of their gift;

never stops to appreciate

the way they give a heart a lift.

A ray of glowing sunshine,

a bright spot in the dim,

a hand to grasp onto,

when we’re too tired to swim

In this world there is darkness

so many reasons to fear

but you light up the world

for whomever you are near

We all love you Bri! Thanks for everything you do to make this world a happier place to be.

(Now back to regularly scheduled swearing, sarcasm, cynicism and narcissism.) I had a moment. Don’t tell anyone.
