I need to keep you positive
In these troubling times
Life has to take its course.
All i can do at the moment
Is to be your loyal friend.
Someone who understands what you are going through.
Keep faith in the ones you trust
Don't keep them in the void of silence
Don’t keep them out of the loop.
Because when this chapter of your life is over ,
And a new one about to start
You will lean on their friendship and love
To help you find your path.

When i became a father
I was gifted a set of skills
A gift of love and kindness
That only fathers bring
But something draws me towards you
This never happened to me before
It’s like a magnet drawing me closer
To help you like one of my own
I don't know your past
Always said i would never ask
Maybe one day you will tell me
Why this magnetism works?

Why are people so greedy
Why cant they be kind
Why do they worship money
When money cannot buy you friends
This is why i’m so wealthy
Loving friends i have
I may not have loads of money
But money will never buy the friends i have .

My heart was hurt , lost all at sea
In a storm of emotion that no one could see
I had no choice but to find a sheltered cove
In s harbour of calm that protected me with her love .
Somewhere i could rest , and take time to recover
Before eventually i returned into the arms of another .

I should feel guilt but i don’t
Is it my heart keeping it out
Taking revenge because it was hurt
Or maybe it’s because my heart is so full of love
And wont let guilt play a part ?

Your smile never changes
Your eyes always shine
I hope you see the same reflected in mine
Time changes all of us
Not something we can stop
But our friendship stays the same
No matter who , no matter what.

We all have a front , some even a mask
To shield ourselves from the past
To put across false impressions
While hiding the truth .
Some day someone will enter your life and your heart
Then that will be the beginning
Of understanding , and hopefully unveiling
A lovely person that hides behind your mask.
