For My Friends
Farrah Tate © 2000
Threads of fondness woven and
Strengthened with cherish far above
familiarity
Through time
Nurtured even when physically dispersed
Always immersed in your love and
care
Those kind actions to endlessly
impart
Those kind words to tenderly share
We're bound to one another
Beyond materialistic ties
Far spread
Across the global territory
Through the latitudes, longitudes
The lowest of desperate valleys,
the most prized of elation peaks
Through months
Years
I hold on to these very days and
weeks
Even if filled with torment, anguish
and fear
As pain between many is lessened
Lessons to learn and faith to renew
It helps to know you're near
Even if only in my fond thoughts
A two-some tear
Shed and shared --
Through joy or sorrow
Is a drop of glue
Cementing the tenderness and trueness
of you
The Earth could part us
Yet it would matter not
When we exist forever in a common
heart
Space not defined by physical location
Twinkles of trust
A must
To suspend time
You'll always be above all,
One of my most cherished finds
These threads are woven across
space, all around this chaotic place,
To calm and disarm
Spun to last
With strength of belief and respect
For what is done and what is yet
To be past.
One thing I can carve in stone
To stand timelessly and true --
I'll be there.
In my heart and soul
You'll always find a warm and inviting
home
A haven for you, and yours for
me alike too.
