In times of need, struggle, despair and yes hopelessness, we can always use a friend or be a friend. This month I implore you to reach out to someone, anyone…a dear one, a near one. BE A FRIEND. Here is a poem I wrote for a dear friend.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT US

When I think about us I smile with thanks

and beam with glee to see God’s work

on you and me…our precious talks 

our daily chats memories about this 

news about that

though time has brought much change indeed

we must respond  in time of need

When I think about us I lift my legs

to run and dance who would’ve thought 

that time and chance could teach the lessons 

we both have learned

‘been through the fire and not get burned

my hands begin to joyfully raise

I know God turns heartache to praise

that’s what I know for sure to be

When I think about us –

just you and me.
