Friend and Lover

FRIEND AND  LOVER


I wish to be your Friend
a Pal to weather-out storms with-
but most of all just a Friend,
who is always there when needed !

I desire to be your promised Love
not the dreamt of knight-
but the man to cushion hurts
and keep the hearth before Thee warm.

I want not to build about Thee
nor to set you on a pedestal-
rather I wish all the world to know
that we are both Lovers and Friends,
united in a partnership
to make all Life seem better !

I'm not a man of gilded-tongue
nor one who plays the peoples games-
and so each night up on the twinkling Heavens,
I've asked to tel Thee.

Then just last night
as I slept up on my pillow-
two brilliant, soothing Angels
rendered me this poem;
and now to Thee, I've brought it !
