Soul Friends
There is a boy
They say he looks like a man
But I can see a tiny boy
Who wants to be loved
Who wants to be needed
Who needs a true friend
Only his, living the friendship he possesses
Hiding it from the world
Just like the rare colorful stone
Buried in the backyard
Only he and I know
The secret we share
And his genuine childish care!
Yes, a stubborn in the maze
And a half turned page
I see the fear
The fear of loss
In his closed tired eyes
And trembling whispering voice
Trying to prove
His mighty tender love
In the world of vultures
That he is an amiable dove!
Every little glory
I wish to tell him first
And every new story
He wishes to share though worst
There is a reason
Why we are soul friends
When I fall or stumble
He leaves all behind and holds my hand
And his heart tells a tale
That only I can understand!
