Thee Only Friend. Poem by Mlondi Mdluli

How fortunate am I to have a friend
Like you. I call you a friend because
You all I have. You are not a foe and
You don't mimic. Whenever I look up
I feel your spirit. It's not perfect but
Thanks for the life that you gave me.

As I face tommorow, I'll be smiling
Because of yesterday. I saw almost
Everybody walk out in my life, why
You still here? . Is it because you care. You proved how much you love me,
When I starred at death andgot a
Chance to get Away to tel the tales.

Living in my heart makes me love you.
If I don't talk to you, who should I. No one
Else is faithful like you. I sometimes doubt
your perfection and when I do, you reveal to
me something I never imagined. The wrapping
up of mankind is not a peril for it will bring
me closer to you. Thew only friend.
