Just One Friend

If I had just one friend

For the rest of my days

I'd want her to be like you

In so very many ways

You make laugh when

I really want to cry,

You pick me up when

I'd rather just say good-bye

But then here you come

My friend in action

There is no stopping you

At the slightest fraction

No matter how hard I try

To stay mad at my worst

When my frustration is peaked

And my heart's about to burst

Here comes my little hero

She is coming once again

No wonder I keep on going

I've got the best in a Friend

She Forgot

she forgot the days I worked

kept a roof over our heads

the heavy crates I carried

so we would be fed

she forgot the nights alone

I that bar - just me

and a few empty glasses

without seeing the stars

she forgot my love for her

all the things I've done

just to awaken and see

her beautiful eyes

she forgot the good times

at the beach as we danced

I miss those days

seems so long ago

happy moments we shared

sweet moments to treasure

memories of my own

sitting

wondering

how could she forget

He Blessed Me

for so long I was alone

I sat in my room

waited

something missing

I knew not what

I'd hear others talking

whispers behind walls

quiet

long from serene

I sat and cried

what's wrong with me, I ask

no answer dared to come

fallen

giving up hope

I had no one

then one day a stranger came

told me the strangest thing

listen

there is some hope

open your heart

he spoke of true love desired

it does exist, he said

trust Him

who could I trust

what did he mean

he spoke about God above

One to speak to my heart

heart pounds

I opened my heart

and He Blessed me
