The Best Things in Life

Having friends you trust

who support and stand by you

the best things in life.

Patience and Trust

Time pulling me

away from you

oh that it were miles

bringing me

closer instead.

A slow turning fan

stirs a cool breeze

fluttering the sheet

caressing my skin

and I think of you.

Dark days

of blue and black

soul bruises

Memphis music

no turning back.

When the pain is too much

I pull inside

my little shell

where it is only me

and I am safe.

I am learning to trust

you pull me to your chest

your loving arms my shelter

a greater peace here

with two instead of one

Patience

is a virtue

just not

one of mine

unfortunately.

Learning

patience and trust

takes

patience and trust

*sigh*
