Ahhh, the 11th hour! Maybe I'm a little late getting to publish this, but hey, it's been a long day for the Fat Kid, and even I need a break. To paraphrase Neil Gaimon (seriously, look him up, I think you'll like him if you're not familiar already) "The Fat Kid is not your bitch." Basically, even though you may demand updates at a more reasonable hour, tough.
But speaking of updates, the Fat Kid has had a lot going no in his life over the last several months, and there are some people who need to be thanked. This one goes out to two friends, both of whom were really there when I needed them. I don't telleither of you how important you have been in my life. I need to change that, and I shall start right now.
The Friend
Always there, unseen, unknown,
Lingering in the background, too often unacknowledged,
Seeing, knowing, understanding, waiting.
Patience - the virtue practiced.
Kindness - the quality silenty adored.
Until the day you need them.
Strength replaces kindness.
Reason tempers patience.
Advising, hand-holding, talking, caring,
There in the forefront, important,
Known, seen, acknowledged.
Life-saving.
The truest friend. Thank You.
Thanks for reading!
The Fat Kid
