Friendship's Tapestry

So often when I think of you

and all the times we shared

My heart is filled with thankfulness

to have a friend who cared

enough to listen to me tell

of joys, rewards, and trials.

You're being there has been enough

to change my tears to smiles.

The subtle love between two friends

is so hard to define.

It is not a square or circle or

even a straight line.

It's somehow like a tapestry

with colors soft and bold

yet deep within the weaving

there are tiny threads of gold.

Yes, rare and oh so lovely

are your friendships' threads of gold

For they will last a lifetime

and then when my story's told

Someone will hold my tapestry

and turn it towards the light

and tiny points, those threads of gold

will gleam and shine so bright.

And they may think - it's just a thread

like green or red or blue-

Perhaps they'll never ever know

that golden thread was you.

But I've been thinking lately

how you've touched my life just so -

Of how you are so dear to me -

and I wanted you to know-

That even if you're next to me

or if we're miles apart

Your golden thread of friendship

still will weave within my heart.

I wanted to find some words on a card

That would help to get thru it

when life gets so hard

It seems you can't bear it -

perhaps can't go on -

When deep in the heart

there's no trace of a song.

Some words that would comfort -

when late in the night

the trials return and -

you're too tired to fight.

Or the tears flow so often

it seems you'll run dry.

And life gets so tough

that you just want to die -
Or at least go and hide -

where you're safe from all pain.

Someplace you can rest

'til you find joy again.

What are the words you so need to hear -

That will help and will heal

and remove all the fear -

That builds up inside

'til you think you'll explode -

What are the words that will lighten the load?

If only I knew the right words to say

To encourage and Bless you

or comfort some way.

I know not the words but this I can do.

I shall offer up Prayers

to the Father for you.
