Friendie

I was mostly shreds and threads.
I was in need of a friend
not because I had none
but because a broken heart
shies away from love.

You eased your way into my life with laughter;
you are real support,
you are understanding.
Your friendship wooed my heart out of hiding
and brought spring to my steps.
Time and distance wasn't a deciding factor:

You are a balm;
Your friendship is soothing...
It relieves the sting of life’s blows,
Chases the cloud, worries bring
and adds beautiful pages to my dream.
