To my Friend ...

Living in a home filled with pain
a body that fails him time and again
drawing strength from his last reserve
knowing that pain is not a master he'll serve
Fueled by the need to again be strong
sometimes dwelling on all that's gone wrong
sleeping a sleep filled of dreams of the damned
wondering how much more of this he can stand
Reaching deep within his very soul
each ragged breath takes its painful toll
hanging tightly to every fiber of his being
even in restless sleep his watchful eyes are seeing
How I wish I could make him well
and take him from this living Hell
hoping he knows how much I do care
thanking him for the gifts of words that he shares
He has opened a door to be my friend
and it is a friendship that has no end
for I'll be around as long as he can stand
to see me standing with an out stretched hand

From your friend

Aziza,
That is a beautiful write and your friend is very lucky to have someone who cares so much.If there is one thing I have learned its to stand strong for your friends and help them when they fall. For they will be there with their all when you need a helping hand. Stay strong and prayers fly your friends way from here.

Great poem. I try to be that kind of friend as well.
