The Happiness of Friends
Have I
Ever told you
What makes me
Smile?
It's not sunny days
Or pretty poetry
Or even my favorite stories.
A good friend
To just hang with and
Watch TV shows
Makes me smile,
Lifts my spirits,
Soothes my soul.
Good-natured jokes and
The effort to keep me around and
The comfort of just being
With them is like a tincture for
My soul,
My heart,
My mind,
And nothing in this world could
Possibly change that feeling of
Belonging
Associated with them.
They make me smile by being them.
