My Hungry Friend Poem by Kelley Collins

Tonight my friend called me on the phone,
He said>'I am hungry and feel all alone',
His voice was warm, lonely, and sweet,
He says, 'Hey gal. would you like to meet? '
I cooked him some food to go,
feeling deep inside that I must know
what was happening, I must understand,
I felt everything was fine, simply grand!

This night I must act blind,
As a friend, I listened to what was on his mind.
Few words slipped through his lips;
yet, many were spoken through his tight grips,
Life is a mystery as we all know,
It is miraculous how our friendship did grow.


That lonely dark night we became one in heart,
A friendship that will never depart!
we remember one another while we are away,
heartfelt words, we feel no need to say,
I went home where I needed to be;
as for, my friend we will soon see,
what happens in life and why,
I hope our friendship continues til the day we die!
