“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” - Khalil Gibran

A Sam Scott poem

Listen to poem:

I always want to be Your friendly voice The station you tune into When you feel there's too much noise I want to be the harbour For your boat when there's a storm The gentle fireside flicker So the cold returns to warm So often life is rocky Or the waves can overwhelm We need a guiding hand-hold Or companion at the helm You say I'm being gracious It's not charity you see Just love in paying forward From that friendly voice to me

This is such a wonderful read dear Sam enhanced as always by your lovely dulcet tones! I especially love the second stanza. A real uplifting poem that’s a joy to read. Everyone needs a caring, friendly, supportive voice in their life. Your lovely poem gently highlights that. Blessings to you.

There is nothing more soothing that a softly spoken voice when the turmoil of the world gets to be too much. Your words are both aerially pleasing to the ear, and soaked in beauty. So glad I chose to read it this morning Sam. Thank you for sharing, God bless you and your amazing talent :)

pure joy! A lovely tribute to friendship. I especially liked: 'we need a guiding hand-hold or companion at the helm.' I agree. Nicely done, Sam. Wishing you a great evening, Sara
