The Importance of Friends

When families live far away

In times of stress, Angst turns us grey

And throws our life in disarray …

We’re brought up short;

At a loss to understand

This sudden crossroads where we stand

 Fierce flames of worry are soon fanned

And nerves pulled taut…

 

Life bumps us up and down again;

We have to board a speeding train

Will matters soon be “right as rain”?

Much is unknown;

Setting off in trepidation

On a trip sans hesitation

What will be found at destination?

So far from home…

 

When we’re in turmoil, fear and pain

We need our friends to keep us sane

Their kind words soothe and ease the strain;

They bring us light!

In times of trial, we feel alone,

Worries morph our hearts to stone

So, a kindly voice upon the phone

Helps make things right.
