Friends


The Gift Of Friends
by Karin Schaefer


There are days when

bubbling from us comes

the innocent child within,

who giggles at the little things

and wears a silly grin.


There are days when

melancholy comes to

visit for a while;

the mind feels tired,

the body weak;

we have no strength to smile.


There are days when

joy abundant grabs

a hold of you and me;

wraps us up in all

it's splendor,

lifts us up and sets us free.


There are days when

sorrow wraps us

in its cloak of grief and fear,

'till our hearts ache to the breaking,

'till our eyes can't shed a tear.


There are days when

love bestows us

with its wonderment and light;

with its beauty and its mystery,

its power and its might.


And there are days when

life rewards us

and seems to make amends

by granting us a marvelous gift,

the precious gift of Friends.
