A friend to light a candle <br />When darkness overcomes. <br />A friend to hold you closer <br />When distant thunder drums. <br /> <br />A friend to gently tie you <br />When sirens sing your name. <br />A friend with words to soothe you <br />When life's a losing game. <br /> <br />A friend to cool your passions <br />When passions take their hold. <br />A friend to warm you gently <br />When a frozen heart's too cold. <br /> <br />A friend to spread contentment <br />As seasons wax and wane, <br />Make sense of love's confusion, <br />And bear life's grief and pain. <br /> <br />A friend who knows this season <br />Of love; both yours and mine. <br />A friend, another reason, <br />To send this Valentine.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-the-valentine-s-day-poem/
