My beautiful tome of memories,
Filled with souveirns of the past,
You fill my life with happiness,
Removing all signs of gloom that often leave me downcast,

You are my saviour,
My lifeboat,
You help me survive horrendous days,
By just showing me the faces that are definitions of true love,
You give me the strength to survive and keep sadness and melancholy at bay.

My embodiment of an angel without wings,
You have helped me survive tumultuous emotional winds,
The recollections embedded in your pages,
Have helped me maneuver through storms of my poignant minds constant grind ,

Thank you for being my shield,
My armor of strength against the feelings that haunt me,
That effect my functional capacity,
Making me obsolete by sending my mental and emotional state astray,

If not for you i would be stuck,
Lost in the void of emotions,
Its your presence that acts as a reminder of love,
And an perpetual reservoir of true fondness and affection.
