My Sister, My Friend
may I use the hem of my garment to wipe away your tears?
may I stand close beside you while you nervously face your fears?
may I place my head on your shoulder when the test results come in?
will you let me comfort you my sister, my friend?
when your man walks out and leaves you and you think you're all alone
will It be me you cry to, when the anger gnaws at your bones?
when your children are in trouble and you're in your despair
can we kneel down beside each other together in prayer?
you can take my hands and squeeze them when the birthing pains get strong
will you allow me to love you whether you're right or you're wrong?
when the pressures of life overwhelm you and make you feel beaten down
can I give you a hug and the words of my God to help turn the situation around?
though we may disagree and argue, we should set that aside
turn around and forgive each other and let go of our prides
may we be there for each other until the very end
may we love each other like Jesus my sister, my friend
