A circle of friends
By Ben Whisman
~
-
- A circle of friends
- to close the gaps
- that separate us
- and ease the solitude
- and soothe away
- the rough times
-
- A circle of friends
- around the globe
- gathering near
- to hold each other
- arm in arm alike,
- brothers and sisters, inseparable
-
- A circle of friends
- to fight against
- the ills utmost
- to rejoice as one
- with others’ success
- we fight for wholeness
-
- A circle of friends
- to guard the tenderness
- within our souls
- to reach and seek out
- to aid those in need
- and in this circle, enfold
-
- A circle of friends
- come join our band
- come sit beside us here
- and we shall take all
- who love, uphold and all,
- this better way, we’ll show
