When You Are Most Alone Poem by Bryan Norton

You muddle through an average week
Your duties to attend
But even at your highest peak
You need a special friend

The people at your job this year
May choose a different tone
But you can trust the voice you hear
When you are most alone

The values that you share with friends
Are leaving you exposed
The views you have on current trends
Are windows they have closed

A kinder friend will hear you out
To speak as you are prone
But you can face a world of doubt
When you are most alone

The written word may be your guide
When you have work to do
But what you teach the man inside
May need some wisdom too

You may prefer to read a book
Or reach a friend by phone
But you will get a better look
When you are most alone

The purpose of the life you lead
Is what you need to know
The beauty of a kindly deed
Is more than just a show

The courage of the one you are
May never win a throne
But you can be a superstar
When you are most alone!
