a gentle friend

no need to set the stage to preen or call you special names

you know me from the inside out

i know you from the start

a gentle friend is worth the light

the morning brings

and all the social niceties and pretty rings

dresses cars and houses cannot bring

the kind of joy that is harboured in your smile

when you see me coming near

you gentle friend

are worth the sunset at days end

and i don't have to explain

why i never call or write

every time we get together

no time has gone or ever be forgotten

never

gentle friend

my beginning and my end

we know each other so

that there is no unknown

and nothing to be frightened of

a gentle friend

is what i hope i am
