like car horns, raucous evenings
they pick pick pick at your patience
"What you need is a little therapy!"
exclaimed through gritted teeth
and southern witty rejoinders
"What you need is to drink water!"
water heals all wounds,
of the head, of the heart, of the soul
"What you need is a little motivation!"
my seeds of apple and cherry grew-
but no motivation trees left in sight
if only the Lorax could see this forest now
all the motivation, water, and therapy trees-
now extinct
so my blanket of friendship
will simply have to do;
a warm cup of kindness,
a passionate phone call,
and those moments when you reconnect
friendship is what you need
they pick pick pick at your patience
"What you need is a little therapy!"
exclaimed through gritted teeth
and southern witty rejoinders
"What you need is to drink water!"
water heals all wounds,
of the head, of the heart, of the soul
"What you need is a little motivation!"
my seeds of apple and cherry grew-
but no motivation trees left in sight
if only the Lorax could see this forest now
all the motivation, water, and therapy trees-
now extinct
so my blanket of friendship
will simply have to do;
a warm cup of kindness,
a passionate phone call,
and those moments when you reconnect
friendship is what you need
I recently reconnected with a friend who listened to a lot of my woes over the last year and told me about his. We talked about football, economics, and societal philosophies. Sometimes it's just that good friend that gives you the pick up you need when everyone else tries to impose their own remedies on you.
