This was written in memory of a friend's love If the valley of darkness, Swooped through the night And nothing was there, Blackness, darkness, Nothing but empty space around you I would be there If in the valley of darkness There was an unresponsive creature Who knew nothing of the world Knew nothing of love Knew nothing of caring I would be there If you ever needed someone’s hand to hold Someone to give a hug to, Even if you couldn’t see me, I can still see you, If you ever needed comfort Or a little encouragement, I would be there. If in your world of blackness You fell in the sea, and you were Swallowing the seaweed The salt water seeping into you lungs With no where to hide your face No oxygen to breathe, No legs to kick you to the top I would be there If a gigantic monster Was to come, Into your world of blackness And you couldn’t find a rock, To protect you from this monster, Couldn’t find a cave to hide in I would be there If you ever ran away, To a cabin in the hills And was left Not seeing not knowing I would be there If you life turned from good to bad And you felt as if no one was there And you knew nothing of what to do Couldn’t do anything but sit and think I would be there If life thrusts you into The tunnel of hurt And the world is swirling around your ears Neither sun nor darkness Seem to penetrate I would be there If you’re ever afraid With the evil after you Fighting doesn’t do any good With your heart in your hand And no one in sight I would be there If you ever alone in the world With no friend to turn to With nobody to relate You feel as if the world has attacked you I would be there If you ever need anything To talk Or to listen To cry Or to laugh To have a talk Or to yell and scream I’m here |

"If life thrusts you into The tunnel of hurt And the world is swirling around your ears Neither sun nor darkness Seem to penetrate I would be there" This is a lovely tribute to your friend ... she is lucky indeed to have you Bessy. Lovely thoughts of a true friendship. Best wishes, /Kit |

Bessy, I missed this the first time around, it's good to look on the back pages and bring up a new poet! A belated WELCOME to Passions! Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
