Friends Poem by Allie Lusha

As we sat on the hilltop
Looking down over the dales
The sky is blue
But, a few clouds shadowed the vales
I looked your way
You were deep in thought
You look so troubled
All tense and fraught
It wasn’t the time
For us to talk
But I wished I could read your mind
And banish all your troubles away
So you could just enjoy
This beautiful day
The grasses swayed,
To and fro in the gentle breeze
Way up on high the Skylark warbles
his earlier reprise.
I take your hand and give it a squeeze
I look into your eyes and smile
Maybe just for a moment
Just for a little while.
You’ll take comfort
Knowing for you I’ll always be there
and you’ll notice the beautiful day
That we’ve begun to share
Still sitting on the hilltop
Looking down to the dales
The sky is blue
The clouds have lifted from the vales
Like the lines that made you frown
I look your way
And you turn to me and say
My god what a beautiful day
Look a Skylark
I smile
