In The Presence of Legends

I have probably wronged them all,
but still they stand firm.
The strain on my life,
testing those around,
and revealing those true to me.

Their strength, unwavering,
real columns of support.
Protective when my defences are low,
that extra boost when my confidence lags.

They may not be national heroes,
but they are my personal saviours.
Not international superstars,
but to me they shine just as bright.

My friends,
every moment I am with them,
I give thanks that I am truly,
In the presence of legends.
