Friend

How can one define in just a simple line The joy the love that your friendship brings You read between the words pick up on the pain and hurt Never judging or saying go away, not now And do your best my mind to divert You are a light in the dark a real living spark, You make the world turn away from the black and dark The tears are wiped away by your hand With your kindness even from a distant land Your heart and soul I can tell Will never suffer the torment of hell The beauty of a person is often judged by the outer skin It is not often we bother to look within Only special friends and those with love Can read between those lines.
