Friend

When the worst happens, you think you can't go on
         and you feel like darkness is all around you,
Remember me
And how I love you.

When you feel ashamed, have done your worst
         and hope no one ever knows how rotten you can be,
Think of me
And how I forgive you.

When you've lost all you had, are feeling like a nobody,
         and you need a warm lap to lay your head on,
Call to me
And I'll take care of you.

When happiness dances on your heart, you're filled with joy
         and want to share it with someone who understands,
Reach for me
And know I feel it too.

When you've grown frail from sickness, or weak with age,
         and you feel your last days are closing in,
Look at me
And see I love you.

When the weight of the world is heavy on your shoulders
         and you feel like you're carrying that weight all alone,
Come to me
And I'll comfort you.

When life doesn't make sense anymore, you're tired of living
         and you yearn to go 'home sweet home' again, but can't,
Trust in me
And I'll be your home.
