Letter to a Friend

I’m Here

Hello, dear friend,
I see you are hurting there,
Don’t forget to remember now
That we are a faithful pair,
So no matter what the cause,
Whenever you need some help
I’m here

Remember whenever you hurt, I’m here
Wherever you are, I’m here
You can turn to me, either now or then,
Whenever you’re at a loss, whatever you think the cost
I’m here

So give me a call, we can talk it out,
There’ll be no need to shout,
I’ve a shoulder for you to cry it out,
That’s what friends are for
I’m here

Hello, my friend,
I see that your heart is broke,
Remember that I was there
And you came through for me,
So don’t you dare to hesitate,
Let your broken heart gravitate,
I’m here

One more thing, my friend,
In the meanwhile and in the void,
Remember the power of pets–
You’ll always find love right there.
When ever you feel alone and lost
And you cannot face the cost,
Remember your cat’s your friend,
And I’m here

Hello my friend,
I see you hurting there,
Don’t forget your friend,
You can come to me,
I’m here

Don’t forget your friend in your hour of need,
And I will speed to you;
And whatever you need, I’ll give to you,
Just you say the word and I’ll follow your lead,
I’m here

It’s okay, my friend,
Every now and then
Something breaks
And thoroughly shakes
Your world.
And that is the moment when
You should call your friend–
That’s me

I am your friend, you are my friend
You can depend on me, I’m here

I’m here

Letter to a Friend:  A work in progress. A fine philosophy; a difficult practice. But we all need a hug now and then; so when a friend needs one, we mustn’t be stingy.
