His goodness edged its way
into the farther-most reaches
of this friends heart
Knowing what to say when the
words were all that needed to be spoken
Soft thoughts of childhood memories
shared between two souls that found
each other in the early morning hours
Laughing at the foolish mistakes that
were made years ago and the lessons
that were learned from them
The past continues to fill your mind and body
with pain that has overpowered your life
A constant battle daily, fighting off the evils
of uncontrollable circumstances
Trust and fondness held the key and opened
the doors that kept us safe
Freeing our voices fearlessly
while bonding a friendship
With a heart filled with love,
A soul full of compassion
I pray that you will find strength within
yourself to get through this period of tribulation
Turn the love you have for others into a shield
of self preservation
