Listen

A friend drops by needing a friend

Will you ride with me

Just to listen, be heard

Just for the company

The fact that you are friends

How many times do we say no

How many times are we too busy

How much does it cost us

To take the time

To value another

To stay in the shadows

And listen to all that must pour out

We all have our times, our days of doubts

Where we need a friend to come along

Walk side by side, knowing then we

Are not alone on the journey

In our fears and doubts

And insecurities

We have a friend

Who walks with us,

Holds our hand

Prays for us

Which makes all the difference
