A far away friend

A friend that brings out my sparkle and instantly makes me cheer
A friend just to chat while having a tea, a wine or even some beer
A friend to have for always no matter how far or how near
A friend to tell them I love them and that I feel so dear

A friend to pick me up whenever I'm feeling alone or down
A friend that doesn't mind if I have an occasional frown
A friend accepting all my colours, be they yellow, red, black or brown
A friend with patience of a saint for which they deserve a crown

A friend to feel comfortable with, no matter how my skies are grey
A friend that makes me smile and showing me that it's okay
A friend knowing that the connection is there and it will never stray
A friend that has entered my heart and will be there, come what may

A friend so far away and having an effect is definitely one of a kind
A friend so far away still knows and see my grief isn't blind
A friend so far away in space will never manage to leave my mind
A friend so far away that has touched me forever is so so hard to find

A friend out of sight and sound and felt only through what I write
A friend out of sight and sound and following my uphill fight
A friend out of sight and sound but I'm never without their light
A friend out of sight and sound but I value them with all my might..
