The Friend There All Along Poem by Maurice Harris

The Friend There All Along

Rating: 5.0


The pain is deep and the scars are not seen;
Enigmatically, the heart yearns for that which has not been.
The mind offers aegis where the soul languishes;
The mind coffers, yet the heart anguishes.
Hope may not cause that which is not, to be,
Just as the sighted may not allow one who is not, to see.
Time may heal all, yet time is inherently slow;
Frustration is felt, yet patience is what we ardently show.
Pain may not be measured so that others may see,
So, a not so edified shoulder is all that others may be.
Give us a lever long enough; we may move a mountain;
Afford us faith strong enough; we may endure any pain.
This is what sustains us, when times are just too much:
The Friend there all along, that we will never be able to touch!
