You Don't Have to be Sad (Poem)

I know the rain is pouring into your life
I know I caused a few storms for you in my time
I know I wish that I could make it all go away
But all I can do is listen and then I'll say:
"You don't have to be sad, it'll all be okay
There are people that love you and care that you are here
I'll be there for you always, from year to year
'Cause friends are what I live for and that's what you are."

I listen to you cry and I want to cry too
But I feel I should be strong and just be there for you
You are so special and it really breaks my heart
That you can't see right now just how special you are.
"You don't have to be sad, it'll all be okay
There are people that love you and care that you are here
I'll be there for you always, from year to year
'Cause friends are what I live for and that's what you are."

I wish that you could see how I see you now
Just a sad young girl that doesn't understand how
The world can be so cruel, especially to someone like you
Who's the best the world has to offer. What can we mortals do?
"You don't have to be sad, it'll all be okay
There are people that love you and care that you are here
I'll be there for you always, from year to year
'Cause friends are what I live for and that's what you are."
