The one thing I cannot live without

I cannot live without my family and friends

Without them I tend to shrink into an inner protectve shell

They have taught me how to have high self-esteem that nothing outspends

Due to the self-confidence that they have bestowed on my I feel like a gazelle

When my mother passed away I felt utterly empty inside

If it were not for the rest of my family and friends I wouldn't have made it

I drew comfort from knowing where my mother is now top side

I never would have made it this far without them I must admit

They have been the most wonderful support group

I coul d never ask for a better network of people

The most wonderful and caring people I know are in this troop

Many of them I have met near the church steeple

In many different ways your best friends can become part of the family

Over time some friends fade away but the ones we are meant to have always stay

Those that become incorporated into the family love you with full capacity

Family and friends that are true will never in a million years give way
