- A FRIEND
-
- WHAT IS A FRIEND? I TELL YOU
-
-
-
- IT IS A PERSON WITH WHOM YOU DARE TO BE YOURSELF
- YOUR SOUL CAN GO NAKED WITH HIM
- HE SEEMS TO ASK YOU TO PUT ON NOTHING; ONLY
- TO BE WHAT YOU REALLY ARE.
-
- WHEN YOU ARE WITH HIM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ON YOUR GUARD
- YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU THINK, SO LONG AS IT IS GENUINELY
-
- HE UNDERSTANDS THOSE CONTRADICTIONS IN YOUR NATURE
- THAT CAUSE OTHERS TO MISJUDGE YOU
- WITH HIM YOU BREATH FREELY AND UNDERSTANDS ONE ANOTHER
-
- YOU CAN WEEP WITH HIM, LAUGH AND PRAY WITH HIM
- THROUGH AND UNDERNEATH IT ALL HE SEES, KNOWS AND LOVES YOU.
-
- WHEN DAYS ARE DARK FRIENDS ARE FEW
