Turn away, I swear I’ll never
If you have need, come whenever
Together we will find some good
Through some quiet interlude
Calm moments that can pass between
A cup of tea, a shoulder lean
Or lighter mood may do the trick
Shared reflection just might click
It matters only that you’re heard
A listener to every word
Is what I am, will always be
Practitioner of empathy
It’s more than being just a friend
It’s where your woe comes to an end...
