(1216)▪︎[ My Friend Is Hurting … 2023 ]

[ Your Good Friend Is Really Hurting Right Now ]
[ You Want To Comfort Her ]
[ But You Don’t Exactly Know How ]

[ Maybe Her Life Feels Like It Is Going In Slow Motion ]
[ Or It Is Going Up & Down ]
[ Like Being In A Boat, Riding The Waves Of The Ocean ]

[ You Can’t Seem To Give Her Any Empathy ]
[ Because You Don’t Exactly Know How She Feels ]
[ You Don’t Want To Show Apathy ]
[ Because You Are Not The Cart That Lost It’s Wheels ]

[ The Wheels That Helped The Cart ]
[ Go ‘Round & ‘Round ]
[ Now It Feels Like Whenever She Gets Up To Start ]
[ It Grinds To A Halt In The Ground ]

[ She Feels Like She Lost Her Purpose In Life ]
[ For The Longest Time ]
[ Part Of Her Role Used To Be Being A Wife ]

[ She Is Not So Sure ]
[ That She Really Has A Role In Society ]
[ That Would Define Her ]

[ On One End ]
[ She Is A Stabilizing Mother & Grandmother ]
[ On The Other, She Is My Close Friend ]

[ You Have Always Needed ]
[ A Strong, Level Headed Force ]
[ & The Advice That Never Goes Unheeded ]
[ Helps To Keep You On Your Life’s Course ]

[ She Doesn’t Judge ]
[ You On What You Do ]
[ But Her Opinion Won’t Budge ]
[ After She Gives You A Clue ]

[ Sometimes She Would Give You A Look Of Concern ]
[ Instead ]
[ You Guess, Because She Might Have Thought That You Wouldn’t Learn ]
[ If She Slapped You Upside Your Head ]

[ Your Friendship With Her Began Before Your Marriage Even Thought Of Starting ]
[ She Did Not Hold Back Any Of The Words ]
[ She Wanted To Be Imparting ]

[ Your Friend Would Come To Your Rescue Whenever She Found ]
[ You Face Down ]
[ On The Ground ]
[ Floundering ]
[ All Around ]

[ She Never Stood Back ]
[ & Had A Laugh ]
[ She Never Verbally Attacked ]
[ She Did Not Ever Track All Of Your Failures On A Graph ]

[ Because There Would Be Quite A Few ]
[ Whenever She Hears That You Might Have Stumbled, She Would Think (WELL, THAT’s NOTHING NEW) ]

[ You Want Her To Know That When It Comes To You, Her Purpose In Life, Is Vast ]
[ When She Gives You Love, You Know That It Will Last ]
[ This Friendship Continues To Be Part Of Your Future ]
[ Not Just A Part Of Your Past ]

[ Everyday ]
[ You Realize That There Is No Way ]
[ That You Can Take All Of The Pain That She Has ]
[ Away ]

[ You Know That You Don’t Have The Power ]
[ To Make Her Pain Go Away For A Single Minute ]
[ Or For An Hour ]

[ You Thank The Big Guy That Resides Way Up Above ]
[ The Biggest & Best Thing ]
[ That You Can Do For Your Friend, Is To Shower Her With Your Undying Love ]

[ The Least Thing That You Can Do ]
[ Is To Tell Her How Much She Means To You ]

[ Well … Maybe You Just Did ]

[ I Love You Lots, Rita ]
