The Most Important Lesson of All Time

When I was just a little girl

I was all alone in this big, big world.

Nothing to guide me.

But then I saw those two, playing together

And I found some people to help me see

How friends are the most important things you'll ever need 

They will be the spiritual troughs from which you feed

If you're alone and in the dark

They'll look for you

And they'll find you and never let that dark break you apart. 

But sometimes life doesn't go the way you want

It will slap you in the face and it WILL tease and taunt.

And sometimes you'll be alone

But you'll find someone

Even IF your heart becomes stiff and stale like a stone

But when no one's in sight

You'll have to win the fights 

We all know how hard you try

just give me a sign

that you're okay and won't let life

bite.

Uplifting message of how friends can help you thru tough times. I'm glad you've had this experience, but not everyone does. So in the last stanza, you reach out to those who might not be feeling your message quite the same. Nice friendly touch & great ending. Frankly, in a couple spots, it feels like you're picking words that rhyme, rather than to fit well with your message . . . ex: "your heart becomes stiff and stale like a bone"
