The Time For A Friend

Author Unknown

I’m just sitting in my cell,

Feeling lonely as hell,

When out of the blue,

I start thinking of you.

I think about what little I know,

And wonder if you are afraid to show,

A convict, such as myself,

Anything personal about yourself.

Because you haven’t responded yet,

To the questions I’ve asked since we met,

Which makes me ask even more,

So I can try to open the door.

But even as I want to ask a question,

I have to heed to a proverb suggestion,

“When building a friendship, always take time,

For if you are patient, everything will work out fine.”

The reason I want to get to know you,

Is so it won’t look like I’m just trying to use,

All the generosity that has been offered to me,

Because I’m nothing like that and you will see!

Everything that you’ve already done

And anything you do for me in the long run,

Has and will be greatly appreciated without a doubt,

For they are the things that count.

But even if you were to send me nothing,

I would still want to have you on my team,

Because I have few friends of old,

So each new one is a pot of gold.

As long as we have an understanding,

Things in your life are very demanding,

And mine is filled with idle time,

Everything will work out just fine!
