I Need A Friend

I need a friend

whom to no end



loves me unconditionally

just for me



I need a friend

whom to no end



allows me

my eccentriicity

just being me



I need a friend

whom to no end



accepts me

livng life freely

all about me



I need a friend

whom to no end



treats me

so very tenderly

seeing only me



I need a friend

whom to no end



treasures me

giving gernrously

looking after me



I need a friend

whom to no end



holds me

setting me free

so I can be me.



P.S.

Lately, looking at some of the people whom consider themselves my friends, I wonder why I settle for less?

So many gifts would we all be rewarded if we simply allow ourselves to be our own best friend, being as honest as is neccesary, in order to touch that hurting place, ever so gently.
