Secrets and Friendship

Tell me a secret that will raise my spirit Whisper it softly so no one else can hear it, And I will feel so special you have confided More so, because in your heart you decided I was someone you can trust with your heart, And I will protect it, my love is off the chart Trust is so special, it’s such a marvelous art What more can friends to each other impart, Friendship must never be a thing one-sided Or it will limp along and become lopsided, And limping long enough, friendship can quit So, whisper a secret that will raise my spirit. written December 1, 2021 [using a reverse rhyme technique that seems to come natural for me]
