Comfort

Within the embrace of your love

I will draw my comfort

And even when sad mistakes

Or difficult things come to mind

I will remember no one is perfect

And often we do not realise

All that is going on

Within another’s

Heart and thoughts and mind

Today as I miss you

I will remember in my heart

All of the gifts you gave

And even as I see how I limit my own life at times

By my failure to reach out

And my tendency to become self involved

I will also know that living life well

Involves a delicate balance

And a dance

Solitude is sweet at times

At times it is far from lonely

And full of grace

At other times we long for connection

The touch of a hand

A hug

Someone to understand

In the end life is what it is

We give we take

We die to live

We live to break

And learn all over again

But for now I will draw my comfort

From the knowing

That you were my friend

Remembering how sweet that was

And how you always tried

To understand
