Mary Scott Poet Rhyme

Friendship

I was speaking to a friend

She said nothing had changed

But her eyes revealed

That nothing was the same



I stood looking at my friend

I had known since just a child

She indicated with her hand

That we should sit for a while

 

I was sitting with the friend

Who had stood by me through thick and thin

I tried to dismiss my feelings

But misgivings pushed their way up again

 

I felt anxious for this friend

Who had gifted me her heart

It was a lifelong friendship

That could not be torn apart

 

I respected the silence of a friend

A sibling from a different place

Regardless of the voiceless dilemma

Our friendship would survive unconquered and safe
