I don't want you to think
that you must do
Anything for me you don't want to.
Friendship should not ever be a burden,
But should instead through sharing one's load lighten.
Please don't think you know my expectations
And then interpret them as obligations,
But do whatever brings you joy and grace,
And I will join you in that sunny space.
And when I share my sadness and my pain,
Feel blessed to know that you can do the same.
For friendship is a gift that in the giving
Gives beauty to one's daily acts of living;
Gives music to the moment, and gives dance
To all who would through love find choice in chance,
And in a friend the good that friendship grants. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
