To find a friend
by David N. Muxo


To find a friend,
a smile across the room,
a shoulder
when the world
has been unkind.

To find a friend
who lets me be
a friend,
who sees when I am
blinded by myself
and speaks the truth
when I would hear
a lie.

To find a friend
who knows just when
to hold me close,
and when I would be free.
