For my very good friend JoAnn <br /> <br />There are some nights <br />you sit alone in front <br />of your computer screen, <br />wanting to talk to someone. <br />You go online with messenger <br />and hope a friend will sign in. <br />You just need to talk to someone <br />to chase your blues away. <br />You don’t tell them you are feeling blue <br />for invariably you end up <br />cheering them up a bit. <br />In the process, you are helping yourself, <br />but you won’t let them know <br />that because it would only worry them. <br />You just laugh and joke <br />like a jester should. <br />Then you say goodnight, <br />but they never know <br />just how much joy they brought <br />just being there <br />when you needed them the most. <br /> <br />27 March 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-need-them-the-most/
