A Response To My First Poem
Come Be My Friend
Softly
Gently
Let us be warm and friendly.
Curious
But cautious
Happiness is much too precious.
Marveling
Wondering
What days ahead will bring.
Softly
Gently
Let us be warm and friendly.

I Will Be Your Friend
Softly we have tread
the road to Friendship Lane;
Gently we have stepped
to cause not undue pain.
Curious as a child
you saw the difference in lives,
cautious till the end
lest you bleed from careless knives.
Marveling of days
and now you’ve found a few,
kindred gentle spirits
respecting justice, like you.
Now you found in life
though cautious you have been,
there will always be
a time you’re pained within.
Then you wonder how,
so softly you may have tread
yet on hindsight find
that someone’s heart you’ve shred.
I will be your friend
but be not quick to bind
yourself and say it wouldn’t end;
Be open-hearted, wise and kind.
There are friends for each, that’s true,
keep close to your heart the ones
who bring out the best in you;
One true friend outshines even the sun.
