Friend
To be a friend is every man’s quest
A simple task and a popular request
To be a friend is to share your joy
I’ll allay your anger; even your fear I’ll destroy
Yet my friend, a friend I can’t be
If bridges and dams, you build so steeply
Oh my friend, a friend near or far
Is a friend in your heart not a memoir
A sense, a feeling, a touch so endearing
Not a painful stab but a holy blessing
Sadly, my uttered words I’ll alter now
Not a simple task, defeated I avow
Yet, I’m YOUR friend forever & beyond
To silence I will learn to respond
Friend, my patience may wane
From speech, I will abstain
But a friend I’ll forever remain…
