Caring Friendship Is Boundless

Let down your armor, my friend
Pull up a chair.
It's time to suspend all thoughts
Of your frenetic day
And let our time together
Ease the frazzle.
Let me bring a smile to your face
Let laughter reign.
It's good to laugh at yourself
And sharing your vulnerability
Does not make you weak;
It connects us
Strengthens us from the inside out.
Let the calm sooth your soul
And wind down
Let the tension go
Kick that junk to the curb.
I support you
I am here for you.
My friendship means
I care.
So we will share.
Over a cup of tea,
Or coffee...
Or wine, if you need it.
Know...
I will always
Be here for you.
