For A Friend

Kinsey Peterson

You said that it's not often

That you hear kinds words like these

So here's a list to show you

All you mean to me

 

I’ll say that you’re the breeze

You keep my world alive

You're my comfort on a warm day

And the rustle in green leaves

 

You’re the grass that coats the ground

To protect my worn bare feet

You're oh so soft and gentle

And you mean so much to me

 

You’re the pillow on my bedsheets

In the least creepy way

I only mean to tell you

You keep nightmares away

 

You’re the comfort of a quilt

Make from a grandma’s hands

The ever soft caresses

Of the fabric’s worn out strands

 

You’re the gentle sounds of music

That fill my mind all day

I hope you never leave

I’d like your words to stay.

 

You’re all these things and more

The light of stars so old

You’re worth more than even

This planet’s weight in gold.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I'm back from a long depressive episode- and this is an old poem I wrote for a friend that I recently edited. I'm trying to get back into poetry so apologies if this one seems a bit juvenile. Make sure you drink water. :)

    Lovely poem. Written words often express our feelings better than any spoken words.
