Friendship
Eileen Goldberg 1950 (Brooklyn)
Is life so very hard for you my friend
of such short time?
Is being you so hard to do?
Is having faults a crime?
Why can’t you see the beauty there?
How can you miss the glow?
The sweet and gentle person
there I’ve just begun to know.
If you could only look back to
before you felt life’s pain
you’d find the child who’s waiting
to come out and be again.
