Friend

         Friend

An amazing thing this one called friend

Never thought to self just you to defend

Talks deep into night, whispers aloud

 Tears upon cheek, of this should be proud

Allow someone in get close and for sure

Secrets long buried come rushing for cure

Long remembered pain, deep slights to you

This friend knows what to say, knows what to do

Time to be serious, time now to joke

Time now to cry and now time for hope

Cold winds blow and tear at your heart

Friend comes a calling now time for new start

Candles burn low more treasure to share

Amazed at the gift of time and great care

Let me raise a toast, my wine glass does rise

To those of you soon to be lost and despised

You took not great care when right in front of your eyes

That friend stood there seeking a touch or soft word

Greeted with silence and thoughts so absurd

My great gift your loss soon to feel

Should have given thought long before now

Should have considered all this before taking that vow

Author's Note

If you find that one friend take great care
