Great Friends

We only succumb to the hidden woes

The trials and pains that no one knows

We think that none will truly care

So, these things we do not share

 

Is pride the reason we remain mute?

As troubles find soil and thus take root

If our tribulations remain unspoken

Then our problems remain unbroken

 

I know you want that inner strength

But when troubled for time at length

It then becomes even harder to

See the people that are there for you

 

There to laugh and share good times

But I read your face between the lines

I see the weight that bears on you

And wonder what I can hopeful do

 

To me, a friend you have always been

And I, one to you, if you let me in

In the times when there is great need

A great friend, to you, I will be indeed
