A Friend In Me Poem by Tim Kitchen

I see a loneliness in your eyes

and I don’t know what to do

I know you’d like to be different

but then you wouldn’t be you.

You just want to be the same

as your friend’s appear to be

but you need never feel alone

when you have a friend in me.



Sometimes when we’re together

I see the sunshine in your face

then something takes your mind

to a different and darker place.

Perhaps I say something wrong

or maybe it’s other things too

but if you talk to me, I will listen

and bring the sunlight back to you.



It’s not easy to be so young

and have worries like you do

you feel different to all of us

but mostly we’re just like you.

So don’t you hide from your life

just live it the best you can do

and if I’m near, let my smile

find the happiness there in you.
