The tears that fall, are meant to cleanse
As if to heart we make amends
The burdens borne without release
Break us down slowly, piece by piece
When seeking solace all alone
The pain so sharp as if knife honed
Will pierce that shield until it’s gone
And nothing’s left you may lean on
So do not stop yourself from asking
It is no bother you are tasking
The village that surrounds will hold
As gentle hands around you fold
For good that’s given, kindness drawn
This synergy we build upon
Benevolence will drown out greed
And grant us strength in time of need
Away from sorrow you will ride
With trusted ally by your side
Tears still may fall, but will not stay
For loving hand shall wipe away
Ensuring comfort to your core
To me, that’s what good friends are for…
