Dear Friend

Too many trivial things in mind Checkered concerns, they occupy That somehow I failed to find There was a sadness in you eye And how insensitive it was of me To not be there for you as promised How many the burdens have seemingly Overwhelmed the dear friend I cherished Your words echoed the unsaid pain I glanced the meanings fleetingly The portrait there now I see again And friend, I embrace you now tenderly Rest and be at peace for the moment I hold you in words and in loving prayer Know that whatever is your predicament You will find a friend, I am always there.
