Together We Are Strong - a Dedication
This poem was originally written in Decembe 2015, for a friend who was going through some problems. Today the same friend is facing many obstacles and I ask people to include her in your prayers. Thank you.
Oh my distant friend,
let me take care of your broken soul,
let my arms be your shelter - your sanctuary.
The path ahead may seem obscure,
hold my hand, let me guide you home,
don't be nervous, you can rely upon me.
Take my strength, hope and spirituality,
let them be the foundations for stability.
There will be days full of darkness
but you have the power to conduct light
deep within your heart - the will to survive.
Sometimes you will want to give up
but, remember,
I need you, your friendship is so special,
we need you - you brighten up our day,
they need you - your love is irreplaceable.
Together we can sing words of wisdom.
When you are drowning,
let me be your bridge over troubled water,
I won't pretend - I will stand by you - I get angry too,
lean on me - we all have pain - we all have sorrow.
Any day of the week, I'll be there - you just gotta call.
Be at peace my friend. Together we are strong.
Dedicated to a special friend.
Silent One
