Among our friends there’s daily trends
So much to grab our notice.
We try to comfort, analyze …
And offer simple solace.
It’s in our hearts … to offer up
An easy plan or answer.
Yet in the end that mirror will lend
The only useful candor.
We can only see within ourselves
The vision of tomorrow
Encourage always those who need
A gentle tug from sorrow.
It’s advice I take when I’m alone
That sets the steady tone
While I cherish all the smiles you sent,
It’s my time alone… that is well spent
