Ode to Janna

Today is your birthday

You are another year older

And wiser

We are still so young

Yet I feel like we have been friends for eternity

You are my comfort

Your house is my place of peace

Any mood is okay there

You know me so well

You are concerned about my feelings

You try not to put me in awkward positions

You let me be when I need it

And encourage when I need a push

You make me feel safe

Calm

Loved

I have cried on your shoulder so many times

And will many times more

When Austin died I didn't want to see you

When I did I didn't want you to go

You stayed by me for two entire days

You were my shield

My protector

You stay by me even now

You have hurt with me

Cried with me

Laughed with me

You love me

Heavenly Father knew I needed you as my friend

He knows that I need you still

You will be with me for whatever lies ahead

I am so blessed that I can call you my best friend
