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 a child that’s waiting
      to come out and be again.
