A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND
AS I WORKED STARING INTO MY MIND
AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN SAID HELLO
...HOW ARE YOU ARE...YOU DOING FINE
UNAWARE OF ANYONE AROUND,,I GAZED A MOMENT THEN GAVE MY REPLIES
JUST TRYING TO FIX THIS LAWNMOMER IT'S GIVING ME A FIT
GLAD TO HAVE SOME COMPANY...NEDD TO SET DOWN FOR JUST A BIT
HE TOLD ME OF HIS PRESENCE HERE
IN A GENTLE VOICE..BUT RARE
FOR IN HIS VOICE I COULD TELL RIGHT OFF
OF LOVE HE HAD TO SHARE
HE TOLD ME HE FED BUTTERFLIES
I THOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL BUT STRANGE
UNTILL HE TOLD THE WHOLE OF IT
HOW THEY ALL WERE MADE TO CHANGE
THE MIXTURE BERRIES,BANANA,AND SWEET WINE
WERE FED... HE WATCHED AS THEY WOULD DINE
PICTURES WAS HIS HOBBY...SPENDING ALL HIS TIME
HE REACHED INTO HIS RAGGED OUT VEST TO SHARE JUST A FEW
HOW I SEEN THE LOVE AS HE SHOWED ME JUST A FEW
EVERY COLOR OF THE RAINBOW..EVERY NAME HE KNEW
AS A THOUGHT CAME TO MY MIND IT HAD BEEN A DAY OR TWO
THE DAY MY MOTHER DIED I HAD TAKEN JUST AH FEW
I TOLD HIM OF THE LOSS I HAD AND ABOUT THE PICTURES TOO
AND ASKED IF HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE .. WHAT I WAS SURE.. GOD HAD GIVEN ME
..THEN HE SAID SON LISTEN WELL ABOUT ALL OF PERFECTION
REST ASSURED THEY CAME FROM GOD FOR THEY STAND FOR RESERECTION
AMAZED ..AND ASTONISHED OF THAT PATICULAR DAY
MY TEARS I TRIED TO HIDE
I TURNED MY HEAD TRYING NOT TO FACE.. THIS NEW FOUND FRIEND...MY PRIDE
IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A MOMENT
I FOUND MY SELF ALONE
FOR MY FRIEND.. NO NAME.. HAD VANISHED HE..HE WAS GONE!
...I REMEMBER MOM SAID SON ALWAYS BE AT YOUR BEST
FOR YOU CAN NEVER EVER KNOW WHEN
YOU'LL BE TALKKING TO AND ANGLE
AND A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND....
