Friend~Poetry

Friend by, H.S.

Quiet and shy they sit in a corner afraid,

Quiet and shy they’re in the open seeking a friend.

Loneliness encompasses them unsure of the next step,

surrounded but alone, laughter, but it’s hollow.

Sleep but it’s restless, dreams that remind of a life they loved.

Lord give them words to speak and courage to move,

strength to chip away the cold shell.

Boldness, without fear of what may happen.

Befriend, the one you wish was a friend, accept them for what they are

One once was told, someone needs to meet you and needs you as their friend.

Lord is this the one? Show me who, I need to be a friend to!

Is the cry of that one's lonely heart.
