A Friend
Rev. Diannia Baty © 2007
A friend is someone who feels your tears
as they form in your heart.
A friend is someone who steadies you
when your dreams falter.
A friend is someone who staunches the flow
when your soul is bleeding.
A friend is someone who would open their
spirits vein to sustain you.
A friend is standing at the hole and helping you crawl
out and see the light.
A friend always knows without words
what history is telling them.
A friend honors the child in you
and counsels the adult.
A friend plays the flute of life
and helps you sing your song.
A friend dances the circle of fire
and calls out your name to the universal spirit.
A friend sees you beyond the body
and whispers to the earth wind to cradle you.
A friend is always and eternal
and a blessing beyond all lives.
A friend lives in you and by you and with you
forever...
