For a Friend
I am not special
I am only me
for nothing else
could I ever be
No word defines me
No sentence completes me
No paragraph, chapter
or book could explain me
My heart reaches out
to those hearts in need
The hearts that are battered
and broken, that bleed
I've been told before
and I'll be told again
I care way too much
even for friends
I ache when you ache
When you're troubled I worry
I'll be there for you at all times
with no judge and no jury
You have my compassion
My strength when you're weak
I will never condemn you
it's your healing I seek
To see you take
your battered heart
bandage it up
and make a fresh start
While it heals
you must guard it well
for you know what happened
when last you fell
Keep strong, stay true
You will find love again
Until then I am with you
As always,
Your friend
