My Faceless Friend
I have a friend that is faceless,
Yet is always there for me,
Whenever I speak out in need,
So I don't care if its He or She!
All I know is that, it is wonderful,
To know this friend is there,
Ready to help and listen too,
The burdens I always share.
Always caringly taking on board
Everything that I have to say,
Then helping me to wrap it up
In a lovely consoling way!
It's always good to have a friend
Be they faceless, where you can’t see,
For friendship created from the heart,
Will last for all eternity!
Then one day when you are ready
Then when it's truly, the time to be,
That very special faceless friend,
Will be there for you to see!

Thank you, Aju Mukhopadhyay, for the following--
ReplyDeleteIt's a good poem which carries the poet's sigh-alone is she-let her be happy with poetry!
P:atricia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this poem. Sometimes it's best not knowing the identity of a person until that person is ready to reveal themselves.
Your friend,
David Fox
