Friend

I awaken to the day, dark and dreary
The night being long sleeping barely
Worry writ all over my brow
I start the day with a bitter row

A row raging within me deep
Not knowing from life what to keep
Mystified by where I was leading
Not sure if it was worth the pleading

I was so lost in this maze
With life I forgot to keep pace
All hope was lost and doors sealed
When you came along with your shield

Like sweet manna from the sky
You just happened to my life, awry
Showed me the light and gave me strength.
Friend together we will go life’s length!
