A FRIEND INDEED.

 I sit alone and meditate
 As days go by, i check the date
 For being so human i need a mate.
 I hear all sorts of voices, but none i can relate
 I seem to grow in desperation
 Of the one to hear my cries
 I tend to lose concentration
 That’s why tears fill my eyes.
 Bold enough to plant a seed
 I find you grow like an extinct breed
 With features of just what i need
 I hope you'll be my friend indeed.


You help me choose the right from wrong
 Ignore my flaws you know am young.
 I remember life as a personal test
 You make me feel like am the best
 Am like a book you love to read
 When am with you i smell no greed
 stand by me when am in need
 Am glad i found a friend indeed.
