The friend i see

Day by day we live our lives
always running here and there
sometimes we can't do what we want
it seems life isn't fair

life gets us down, we want to quit
we want to say enough
it would be so easy to throw in the towel
when the going gets real tough

sometimes i too think life's a game
always the last one to be picked
never to be on the winning team
but on the one that gets their ass kicked

i have a friend that has shared so much
as we talked from day to day
she has always been able to cheer me up
with just a simple - hey :)

somehow i know, but i don't know why
i can tell when she is down
I'd love nothing more than to make her smile
and take away her frown

she has a job, she works at home
she volunteers at the school
my girls just love when shes around
they think shes really cool

she always wants to be a help
she cares for everyone
but mostly wants to be there for
her husband and her son

a mirror reflects an image back
of the person that we can see
but i wish somehow she would understand
the one that appears to me

caring , loving , a beautiful smile
her many good deeds untold
theres countless lives she has touched
because of her heart of gold

when you get down and start to think
life's game is to hard to play
just remember what Jesus has done for you
to Him on your knees do pray

these simple words from a simple man
thats all i know to do
its not much but just know that
I'm always here for you

This is an older poem i wrote for a friend who was feeling down. This is the same friend that i wrote about in " A friend i never had". Hopefully one day our friendship will be accepted by others.
