(A lone voice whispers)
Just be like a silent hushed lullaby
Against the encroaching shadows of night
Just be like the glorious early morning sunshine
On a new day
Always trying to erode the darkness within others
Just be Faith and Hope entwined as one
Just be a new strength to lift up a weary heart
Just be the one
Who helps to break the prison of an icy soul
Just be a form of peace and tranquillity
For those that need you – to help begin again
Just be like the life-giving rays
Of those early morning lights
A silent voice of rebirth
Growth and empathy
Just be a trusting sentinel
A guardian
Against the darkness of anxiety or depression
Constantly calling their name
Just be a silent hushed
But a so well-loved lullaby
An unbending shield
To be relied upon
To help push back
All those painful shadows of once lonely dark nights
Just try to be a loyal friend
In which they can trust
Before their love for you
Turns to dust

Playing with words on a rather glorious Sunday.
Friendship plays such a pivotal part of our interactions with others.
Especially, in those darker moments in life.
Strangers can suddenly become like family.
Some can come and some may go, but all those memories.
Good or bad, still choose to remain.
I suppose at the very core of the human existence, we need to be acknowledged at some deeper level.
I'm a friend to many and a willing friend to those in need.
Isn't that why we were all born?
To help others?
