A Friend Indeed

Hold my hand through those dark places

Guide me to those quiet spaces

Tell me there’s nothing there to fear

And make my worries disappear

All too soon I’ll be on my own

and take that final step alone

But in this moment treasured friend

on your great strength I so depend

I’ve never been this road before

It’s strange not knowing what’s in store

Your hand and my belief in prayer

I know will get me safely there

So holding on I close my eyes

I think of home and summer skies

of happy smiles and Christmas time

and poetry in perfect rhyme

I drift away but soon I know

It’s time for me to let you go

You've helped to take away my fear

I'm sure I’ll be okay from here
