I hoped against all hope that you would be here,
at the dawn of the day,
I hoped you would, but I could not presume,
but you came with a smile upon your face,
and you came when I was in need,
and you came when I called despite you being far away,
and here you stand before me with open arms,
and ready to listen to me,
and you look at me and say to me, what is it my friend,
what troubles you today?
And I feel easier in me, once those words float free,
once those words float free from your mouth,
and I am less anxious with you, and you,
well, there is nothing that you would not do to help me,
and you have that confidence and that surety about you,
and you have that strength in you,
and that good and compassion in you,
and you seek to help wherever you can,
and I look at you,
and I know with you that I can trust you,
that I can truly trust you,
and here you are at the dawn of the day,
having come a great distance,
and you stand before me ready to listen to me,
and you look at me and say to me,
what is it my friend, what troubles you today?
And as soon as you say it,
I know my troubles; my troubles are about to go away.
