A Friend
Humbled by the blessing that falls around me,
the smell, the filling, it is what I'd like to be,
Soothing to the touch like silk on her face,
feared at times for not taking shape.
Cold as a winter kiss yet hard to be missed,
cool as a summer breeze on the 1st. of August,
Hated by ones who can't see the beauty I see,
cursed by others as they hide under trees,
Wanted while alone and your tears land,
wanting it yet unable to hold it in your hand,
A friend I found years ago in a time of need,
you picked me up planted me like a rose seed,
To cover my body in any season,
to wash away my worries is the reason,
Like music and a sound all it's own,
rain drops carry my favorite tone.
