Just be...a friend

 


(A lone voice whispers)


“Just be like a silent hushed lullaby 


Against the encroaching shadows of night.


Just be like the glorious morning sunshine 


Eroding the darkness within others.


Just be Faith and Hope entwined as one.


Just be 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 begin again.


Just be the morning lights 


A silent voice of rebirth and empathy.


Just be a trusting sentinel 


A guardian against the darkness calling their name.


Just be a silent hushed lullaby 


Against the shadows of night.


Just be a friend 

Filled with hope and sympathy.


Until the very end.”
