When You Need Them The Most

For my very good friend JoAnn There are some nights you sit alone in front of your computer screen, wanting to talk to someone. You go online with messenger and hope a friend will sign in. You just need to talk to someone to chase your blues away. You don’t tell them you are feeling blue for invariably you end up cheering them up a bit. In the process, you are helping yourself, but you won’t let them know that because it would only worry them. You just laugh and joke like a jester should. Then you say goodnight, but they never know just how much joy they brought just being there when you needed them the most. 27 March 2007
