POEM: The value of a true friend

| December 6, 2013 8:00 PM

In the lands of money

Where friends are few -

God sent a person

And that one is you -

Now the path is laden

With worry and fear -

My heart is heavy -

And my soul is bare -

To all of you dear ones -

That answered the call -

Each one is a blessing

I should write a song -

I am thankful forever

As the days move along …

WORRY, WORRY all the time

Each new day brings

forth a fright

Should I stay home?

Should I go?

Did I call you?

Did I write?

Where are my keys?

Where is my phone?

Would I be safe

if I’m alone?

I’d like to go -

but would you drive!

I have to say I am

a mess -

Will I get better?

Hope it’s soon

I’d like to take a

trip by noon -
