Friendship

     Is life so very hard for you my friend
      of such short time?
      Is being you so hard to do?
      Is having faults a crime?
      Why can’t you see the beauty there?
      How can you miss the glow?
      The sweet and gentle person
      there I’ve just begun to know.
      If you could only look back to
      before you felt life’s pain
      you’d find the child who’s waiting
      to come out and be again.
