Friend

And after all had been created
and was neatly arranged,
He looked down upon the people
of the earth and said;
"I cannot be there
to comfort them in their sorrow,
I can't be there to
wrap my arms around them.
I am here and yes,
they will feel my presence
but they'll need something more.
He paused for a moment
and then said;
"I will create for them someone
they can see and touch,
I will make this person understanding,
compassionate, thoughtful and caring.

She won't need to be overly intelligent,
just sensitive to others needs.
She will have a warm heart and
gentle hands and all the time in the world,
or so it will seem to those she comforts.
Time will mean very little to her
it will never be too late nor too early.
She will be a very blessed individual and
many will love her and
come to her door often.
She will have to be something
very special to take my place because
I love my children very much
and I want them to have only the best,
they will have many trials
and will need a strong shoulder."
And so he created this individual
after much thought and time.

And then he said, "I must give her a name"
he paused for a moment more and then said.
"One of my greatest creations,
I shall call her a Friend."
