To My Friend
Don't be sad my friend
when you are hurt
I will be there
lighting a fire to warm your heart
when you have fallen
I will be there
picking up your hand gently
and walk along by your side
when you are alone
I will be there
sitting with you until the morning comes
or the glorious dawn
Don't cry my friend
for shedding a thousand tears
will only break your heart
I will hold a silken cloth
to wipe your tears away
It's all because
you were there for me too
I know someday
you may disappear without a trace
but my heart will still be here for you
if you ever need the comfort
How can I not feel sad
when you are gone
like a butterfly in the wind
but I know I will have to live with disappointment
and journey on
So let us celebrate life
the way it is
no matter what awaits ahead
my friend
let's face it with love and courage
that we crave
