Friends

I lay here and think
And once in a while, blink
About things important - my son & friends
And solitude, and what life lends

It's personal to my own heart
Why can't emotions be apart
From relationships so saddening
Not the happy, but the maddening

Keep others close - inside my soul
And when I smiled, my heart they stole
The ones that make my life worth while
For those I'd go the extra mile

For my few friends that make me whole
They have all anchored in my soul.
