MY FRIEND
I once had a friend, in whoes company i delighted
My friend, whoes simple smile used to remove heavy burdens
He eminated calmness and wisdom, sharing it with all around
But i was special, for I was amazing - so he said!

I tried, to repay the love he showed me
An impossible task but one that did not go unnoticed by him
My gift to him were reciprocated by supplication and more
My service to him, his cause his way was repaid by love for my household

He asked after my dad, whom i knew he loved
He prayed for him, cried for him and beseeched for him
My sadness, my silent tears, my yearning were known by him
A kind word, a verse from the book; his way to bring me back

But he no longer is their for me, no longer here for me
The pillar is gone the structure is weak!
I see him from a far, but he is distant - a memory
I hear him in my head - but he is distant - a memory

Was it what I said, did, or did not do, that forced him away
Is it because I have failed him, hurt him, angered him?
I know i err, a human indeed i am!
Forgive me friend - i am sorry!
