FRIENDS of the HEART

Andrew Jenkins, Huntsville, AL
based on a work by Mary Hollingsworth

                      
I don't want to be just another acquaintance
that tugs away at you for your precious time.
your attention and your feelings. I want to be
someone you come to for understanding, some
one to whom you retreat for emotional rest.

I want to be someone with whom you can laugh
and share your joy. One in whose presence you
can cry without embarrassment or apology and
one whose hand you can touch when you need
warmth, affection, reassurance and company.

I want you to feel free to say to me, "I am so
lonely today; stay with me a while longer." Or
"may I come over? I need to talk to you." I
want to be there for you as you would for me.
I truly want us to be friends of the heart.
