True Friendship
By Blue / Ben W.
~ 2006-05-02
For my friend and blood-brother
You are never junk, bud
- True Friendship –
- I thought I knew a lot about friendship
- Though I’ve had few best friends
- Lately I’ve learned
- There’s a whole new world
- Coming out there
- True Friendship –
- Cares how you feel
- Understands your flaws
- Praises your strengths
- Mentions not when they are the same
- Trusts when you feel untrustworthy
- Respects your boundaries
- Restores faith when you doubt
- Rejoices when you find faith again
- Gives you hope when all seems lost
- Gives thanks when your hope’s restored
- Loves unconditionally
- Stands content beside your loved ones
- Glad to share you with them
- Without need to monopolize
- Secure that you’ll be there
- Rests with you when you are weary
- Races giddy when you zoom along
- Lifts you up when you stumble
- Guides you when you need advice
- Carries you when you cannot
- Lets you carry and take control
- Insists you can be more
- Desists when you are not perfect
- Wipes away all tears
- Laughs with you
- Finds wit in your humor
- Soothes sorrows
- Stirs to moving
- Calms fears
- Brings safety
- Defends naïveté
- Battles cynicism
- Cleans up when you are ill
- Dignifies your indignity
- Heals what is broken
- Smoothes the rough places
- Accepts what you can’t let go
- Knows your core is never harmed
- Just sits with you to be there
- Holds you when you cry
- Hugs you for no particular reason
- Connects a wavelength in common
- Knows your spark is still there
- Hangs out with you
- Dances on wheels with you
- Awestruck by your dreams
- Sends angels to tend you
- Wrestles God or demons to guard you
- Celebrates your uniqueness
- Finds access for your ability
- Refuses to diss your dis-
- Because you like your friends’
- Appreciates you’re just you
- However you are
- Argues for you, even with you
- Until a problem’s resolved
- Believes without need of proof
- Handles confidences with grace
- Talents inside, you try to deny
- Strength within, you won’t admit
- From your counsel, gains healing
- Glimpses the Creator in your spirit
- Gifts you a bit of soul to fuel your own
- True Friendship –
- Spans more than what is tangible
- Traverses time and space
- Connects each to one another
- Dances holy Creation whole
- Beloved friend, enjoined
- In tribe and family, included, blood or not
- I adopt you, friend, blood-brother, family
