A friend saved me today; <br />She told me that she would pray; <br />It wasnt much to ask; she had helped my many times in the past; <br />The memories of these times will last; <br />A friend saved me today; <br />'I love you' was all that she had to say; <br />but those three words meant so much; <br /> <br />A friend saved me today; <br />she told me to be strong; <br />and that it wouldnt be long; <br />and that it would all be gone; <br />and that I COULD carry on; <br />and if not I can always kneel; <br />because no matter how yucky we mway feel; <br />the shepards love is very real; <br /> <br />A friend saved me today; <br />she kept me from going stray; <br />she's more than a friend! <br /> <br />Written to someone who was like a mother to me for many years: to Sylvia Chavers<br /><br />Christina Beckwith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-64/
