Comfort In A Friend

Comfort In A Friend

© by Bud Lemire on April 22, 2014

In this life you never know

When it's someone's time to go

Precious is the time we spend

In conversation with a friend

We both value the time we share

A time to show how much we care

If a friend has a life threatening disease, don't back away

Because they still need your time, especially every day

If it's a friend you've recently come to know

Don't let unknown fear inside you start to grow

What makes you afraid to become close

Your friendship is needed the very most

Do you fear emotions and an upcoming loss

When it comes to your soul, you are the boss

Part of life and the time that we're living

Is the time and love that we are giving

I'd say this friend needs you even more

Then they ever needed anyone before

If this friend should suddenly pass away

Remember you gave your best every day

What if you found yourself in their place

Wouldn't you find comfort in their friendly face

When wishing for the pain to end

Wouldn't you find comfort in a friend

In this life, I find friendship very precious. I know if I was going through something

and needed a friend, it would be a most welcomed sight and presence. There are

many diseases you can not catch, and yet people back away from a friend anyway.

Just when your presence could have given them so much comfort and love. Is it

because you fear losing them, or fear catching what they have. Afraid that

your emotions will be out and you won't have control of them. Sometimes we have

to come out with our emotions and breakdown the wall, to become become better

people. Listen to your soul, it knows.
