TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND
A tribute to a friend
Call it a flash of a moment
A moment of wondering
A moment of knowing
Who do you call a friend?
She is the most unlikely of friends
We connected only after a few years of letters
We all have our walls
Walls we choose to keep us safe
And yet when we finally find a common door
Not made by hands
We find in each other
A certain depth, a certain warmth
She has beautiful eyes
The windows to a gracious soul
All wrapped up in an exterior
An exterior forged by experiences
I wonder why I am thinking of her
I wonder why I am missing her so
Maybe we are alike and yet so different
Maybe we are so near and yet so far away
I wish her all the treasures of the earth
I wish her all the beauty of the heavens
I wish her all the kindness of people
That is what you wish upon a friend
