My Friend

"Through your eyes I see sadness,
My friend how can I help?

Through your ears I hear criticism,
My friend come to me, I'll shelter you.

Through your wings I feel you fly,
Land o'er head above Heaven.

Through your sense of smell I smell the salty water,
Do not cry, I am here.

Through your fingers I touch my sheltering Father,
'Shhh, My Child' He is saying.

Through your heart, I feel it racing,
Racing from the wonderless flight of death."

--------------

I am sad, as most can see,
Because of you, the one who destroys me.
I look beyond you,
To my friends, who are so very real.
A touch of light, a gift from God,
For my friends, a gold star.

I am laughed and joked 'bout.
How can I explain this miserable pout?
You don't nor wouldn't understand,
My friends can only comprehend.
Do you get it now,
A gold star for my friends.

I try so hard to avoid,
Only to see I am paranoid.
I reach for the big bright star,
Try to fly up to God.
To wish upon, my friends,
They gave me a gold star.

My heart aches so bad to cry,
I am a person who tends to strive.
Why can't you simply see,
All I want you to do is notice me.
Those whom I depend,
A gold star for my friends.

I feel God's loving touch
After the heart-throbbing punches
You give to me without knowing.
Where's my four-leaf clover,
My good luck charm only to plod?
For my loving friends, a gold star.

My life seems to be slowing,
Nearing my forever death.
Heart beat feels as if it is blinking,
Playing songs out of the treble clef.
Will you miss me, do you get it now,
I give my friends a gold star for being there, for making me proud.

Author notes

One of my many best friends asked me to write a poem about her. I agreed, even though I didn't know her story, just the girl I see everyday at school. I took it upon me to try my best. I gave it to her today. She loved it and said that it was her. I was happy to find that I actually wrote a poem about her and not knowing her life beyond school!
Now I ask you for a comment.
Oh,I don't know what 'plod' means, but it sounded good to me

    This is a great poem. I am amazed by the eliquence of it. I have recently discovered that I need to turn to the lord when times are hard and I tend to talk to him (quite often). I am sure you do the same. This was a great poem
