Why do they stay?
A tribute to friendship.
I heard my phone ring, I knew who it was.
Messages followed calls; it was all in vain.
I was there but I was away.
Lost in a place where there is only me,
I am gone for so long,
I am so far away.
Can some one then tell me please;
Why do they stay ?
I ain’t easy ,I have towering walls,
I don’t trust ,
I am distant , sometimes even cold.
Sometimes I am selfish,
And yet for them, I never get old.
When I am away, lost in distant lands,
The warmth from the other side is never gone.
Their words are the balm,
The promise of rain, on a barren land.
The melody of music divine,
that kept me from crossing the line.
I ask myself again
I am so far away,
Can some one then tell me please;
Why do they stay ?
I have tears ?
They are the the hands that wipe them,
I want to rest my head ?
They are the shoulders that bear the pain.
I wanna get drunk ?.. They go get the pints,
Then they dance with me late into the night.
I want to talk?
They always have the time.
I want to have fun?
They know what makes me tick,
I want to disappear , they let me ,
Worried; but they stick.
They never demand, never question,
They never judge ,
They know they can hurt me ,
and yet they always take pains to protect me!
Good people are hard to find,
Good friends extremely rare,
I wonder what I did to deserve them,
A lot of good deeds?
Maybe.
I honestly do not know.
I don’t say it often but THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART ,
When ever I looked around me
There was always a soul to be.
Always a call away,
Night or day.
I am grateful to God they exist;Maybe I am truly blessed .
Maybe that is why ..
They chose to stay.
Dedicated to 3 beautiful people in my life . I love you.Thank you.
