Dear Friend Poem by gail godin

My dear sweet friend
How the years have flown
You've been through so much
I pray you were not alone

It's difficult to find
The right words to say
To lesson your pain
You must feel every day

I would gladly share your burdens
If God would transfer the pain
You've had the weight of the world on your shoulders
My dear friend in sunshine and rain

Although it's not much solace now
I will always be here for you
If ever you need a friend's shoulder
If you're down or feeling blue

The time of day doesn't matter
My heart and my ear I will lend
Sometimes we just need to be swaddled
By a caring, loving, lifelong friend
