I will be your friend

(by Farita Tepora Afamasaga)

My friend


when inside you are hurting


and only I know


I wish the forces of nature


were at my command


I would reverse time


and make you smile

when deep inside you


a storm is raging


and your soul is but a boat


upon the lonely seas


I want to calm the waves


and bring you home



I am always here if you need me


to cry with you if you need me

to laugh with you


to pray with you


to run with you

to live life with you


You are my friend


I will never leave you
