As I look through the window of friendship, <br />I see in the gentle wind, <br />The whispered breeze of an angel, <br />It is in the image of 'friend'. <br /> <br />This friend has a heart of compassion, <br />Caring that comes without end, <br />The giving of love to others, <br />Characterizes my dear friend. <br /> <br />This friend has hands that carry, <br />The load of your burdens with ease, <br />Hands that will hold others' problems, <br />Grasping with love, not to cease. <br /> <br />This friend has eyes, understanding, <br />That see to the heart of a soul, <br />Eyes that are never condemning, <br />But rather see new ways to grow. <br /> <br />This friend has ears that listen, <br />And hear the call of a friend, <br />Ears that will cherish the moment, <br />And take the time to lend. <br /> <br />The image of friend described here, <br />Is the picture I see in my mind, <br />When I look through the window of life, <br />Your image is what I find!<br /><br />Jean Penner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-image-of-a-friend/
