Dear Friend,

Why, of all places, I find hope in you?
You stir the river by which my thoughts flow,
You stir my heart up and make me feel blue
With your radiant smile – it’s a pleasant glow.

Your enticing gaze seeds peace in my mind
And extracts a smile. Hence, my spirits rise.
Your presence brings comfort, because you’re kind
To me; you soothe the pain while my will dies.

When you are near, my worries go away,
But why do you care look into my eyes?
Don’t waste your kindness – I am to decay
Alone. Why do you reach where my heart lies?

I do thank you, though, for helping me out
And giving me hope in my existence!
However, your help may be put to rout
By my weakness and lack of persistence.
