THE EYES OF A FRIEND


by: Jeanne Emory Douglas


Whenever I'm weary. feel sad and alone,
My heart heavy burdened with pain,
I think of my friend, I sigh and I smile,
Then I feel lighthearted again.

There are no demands, no ties to unbind,
We don't even need to agree;
Just someone to whom I will listen
And someone who'll listen to me.

Someone who takes me just as I am,
Speaks of the very best part,
Stay blind to my shortcomings.
But sees a generous heart.

So if you're alone, feeling blue or betrayed,
To you this message I send:
Don't hang your head down stand tall and smile!
Just look in the eyes of a friend.
