Title: When Hope Shines Brightest

Rated: K

Summary: A poem that was written for Guardian Angel. It's about how Takeru views Patamon as the one who taught him hope. This will have both versions of the poem.

When Hope Shines Brightest V.1

When everything seems hopeless

That is when you shine the brightness

Darkness fears the sight of you

You stayed by my side through the good and bad

We laughed together

We cried together

You taught me what hope was

You taught me what Friendship truly was

My Friend, My Brother

I taught you goodness

I taught you trust

My friend, My Guardian Angel

When Hope Shines Brightest V.2

Before we met such things as hope

Seemed nothing more than fairy tales

Life had let me down so many times

But then we met

And before we knew it we where friends

Oh and you

Oh and you taught me so many things

That there are times that one must stand up for oneself

That I can't always hide behind another

And there are times when fighting cannot be avoided

As I taught you fighting wasn't the only way to go

But what was most important

What I needed the most

Was the ability to believe in hope once more

And just when I believed that hope had been lost forever

You

You taught me

That is when hope shine's brightest of all

And like a phoenix it will always be reborn anew

And like our friendship can never be broken

A/N – Since I had to take the original versions of Guardian Angel down I thought it would be best to make the poem that was exclusive to the first two version available elsewhere. I mainly just put the one that is in the final version of Guardian Angel so people could read it if they wanted to.
