2014-11-07 1 Dailymotion

I Wish For A Friend <br />That if you sent them a card <br />They wouldn't miss take it <br />For an invitation <br />To a candlelight dinner. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />That if you gave them <br />A mere hundred bucks <br />They didn't think <br />That they owed you something. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />That if you willingly <br />Played them a song <br />They didn't take it <br />As a sonnet of love. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />That when you give them a hug <br />They didn't take it <br />As somebody trying <br />To hit on them. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />That if I am sick <br />They wouldn't turn their back <br />Until I am well <br />And expect me not to notice it. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />That was not starving <br />From neglect with hidden agendas <br />To criticize and change you <br />Instead of caring for who you are. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />The world hasn't stripped <br />So naked of integrity, love and honor <br />Where from their lack mistaken friendship <br />For an intimacy beyond dishonor. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />Whose need for care and understanding <br />Wouldn't misunderstand and mistakably <br />Regard a platonic friendship <br />As an intent for an intimate relationship. <br /> <br />I Wish For A Friend <br />Who wouldn't let my achievements <br />So ornately go to their heads. <br />But to smile, to talk, to laugh, <br />And to just sometimes see me instead. <br /> <br />What has happened to friendship? <br />What has happened to respect and honor? <br />What has happened to prosperity? <br />What has happened to the endearing love <br />Of someone just being...a friend?<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wish-for-a-friend/
