Hold On

A poem of friendship gone right

 

There isn’t so much left of me

Yet I give it all away

Were it not for the hardened words

That you once did say

To share with you my world

The little that you see

And I’d have given all I could

To be a part of me

I wish you really knew me

And how I’d felt inside

Before you took the part of me

And ran off as you tried

Still I have my love for you

As that goes not away

And you’ll feel me in your world

Were you to look my way?

So I can only be the wind

Blowing through your hair

And I can only be the friend

That you’ll always know is there

For what lies beyond we do not know

And you’ll only get the pieces of me

That you would choose to hold

Yet you’ll have the part of me

The same one of which I’ve told

For love is only mine to give

As its been given to me

And I’ll not offer any thing

That could not come to be

So we may walk this world

With the pieces that we share

And hold this bond between us

Just to know how we care

And I’ll only be as far away

As you’d keep me from your heart

For even a friend is one to share

In all if not a part

And life goes on without us

It only takes a glance

So hold on to today

Don’t let it have that chance

And hold on to your dreams

For they will not slip away

‘Cept were to let them go

To find another day

And you’ll always hear me

If you listen to the wind

For I breathe in the air with you

And I’ll always be your friend.

Always love

Don

A very gentle, loving piece. It is as soft as any I've seen. I hope she listens ....
