I suppose I wrote this after losing a friend over something stupid as we all do at times. it is a reminder to myself to be more generous of spirit and trust my faith. Loving friends are the most important thing  in the whole world. This is  pic of my son and one of those dearest friendships we made on holiday in Florida many years ago and whilst we live so far apart we stay in touch often. 

There are times when I fail to hear

words of comfort coming through loud but still unclear

And there are days when clouded truths hurt and tear

at friendships I’m feeling lost in despair

And I am far from true

Don’t always do what I’m supposed to do

And in my human heart I hide so much fear

That i forget to hear.

I forget how much he cared- and worst of all

I forget I should have shared his love

With you.

There are times when i fail to see his light

There’s so much here that seems dark and unjust

I only see the shadows of a lonely night

Full of envy and mistrust.

So I am far from free

I fail to understand what i’m supposed to be

And in my human heart I hold so much pain

I forget it’s his to bear

I forget to let him care  And worst of all

I forget to share his love

With You

So I pray that he will see his way

To take me forward. And i will hold your hand

Please forgive me for the things i failed to say

When you needed me and i didn’t understand

And i am far from home

Still a frightened child yet fully grown

And this human heart hides so many tears

Memories from too many years

And still his love won’t let me fall

I should have shared this all

With You 

I should have shared this all.  With You.
