Once again, I tried to help a friend of mine who had been in my life for twenty years.
Back in 2003, we were the best of friends, always there for each other with a comforting hug that gave both of us respite from a demanding world.
Yet, once again, he drifted away for another year and a half, and once again, I had to let him go with love as I prayed, affirmed, and wished the best for him. And that he would be all right.
I would always be there for him if he ever came back into my life needing a friend. Hence, this poem from 2003.
LIKE MORNING DEW
Your friendship,
My friend,
Is like
The softness of
Morning dew
Your friendship
Is like the gentle waves
Ebbing out to sea,
As the sun’s amber rays
Shine down upon me
Giving me pure
Nourishment from above,
Wisdom from within,
And enlighten to carry on!
Oh, how can I say
Thank you, my friend,
When words are not enough,
Please hear me
With your heart,
And see me with the sight
Of your soul,
And always, always
Walk beside me,
Singing tunes
Of your favorite
Inner song!
