Wishes For a Friend

To my best friend, I wish you peace
beyond this moment’s breath.
of prayerful mind as thoughts unwind,
I wish you happiness.

I came to call on you today
with clover in my palm,
of emerald fine, the four-leaf kind,
my spirit wished you calm.

You’ve forsaken love again…
Oh friend, why guard your heart
from taste of wine, affections fine?
With warm tears, you depart.

I wish for your life health and joy,
a hand to hold your dreams… 
contented days, passion always,
lips iced in buttercream.

My sweet friend, you deserve romance
and nights of ravished skies -
a million stars strung from afar
over ecstatic cries.

True love comes maybe once a life;
true love, they say, is rare.
For you, my friend, I’d share my truth,
to show how much I care.

A love rooted deep in friendship,
my friend, you’re my soulmate. 
Our love shall grow to heights of stars;
surrender to our fate.

I wish for you, dear friend, great love.
I wish this for me, too.
With sun and moon and hearth to guide,
I’ll give my love to you.
