A Friend In You

Sometimes, I wish to smile, sometimes I wish to cry
Just to find nobody around to give me fanciful replies

‘Tis such times when I yearn for a listener
Who’d provide me with a shoulder

And laugh at my silly jokes
Cry with me when provoked

Bearing this in mind, I beseech you all
To be by friend by accepting my call

For our lives are short, the world’s too small
And we shall meet again in a creation;
Far above us it stands, mighty and tall.
