This poem was written for my friend.
I don’t know why I am writing this
I don’t even know if there is a reason
but I sit here typing away a message
to you, my friend, whom I love dearly
words I write hang across the screen
sentences which have no real meaning
I should just stop and do something else
yet, I continue to type this message for you
hoping to show that you are not alone
hoping to show that I am here for you
oh dear friend, I am praying for you
day and night, every moment
I will always think of you
I ask how your day was and I explain mine’s
revealing all the good and bad times I’ve had
I sit here now trying to fill in the void
the missing parts, the lost thoughts in my mind
I wish i could be where you are
and comfort you when you are feeling sad
but the distance between us is so great
all I can do is write this message for you
hoping to show that you are not alone
hoping to show that I am here for you
oh dear friend, I am praying for you
day and night, every moment
I will always think of you
I will pour out my heart
if it would make you smile
for His joy is flowing out of me
I want to give it to you
hoping to show that you are not alone
hoping to show that I am here for you
oh dear friend, I am praying for you
day and night, every moment
I will always think of you
oh Lord, please give my friend peace
oh Lord, please give my friend strength
oh Lord, please let my friend know
that You are always there
