Faceless Friend Your face, your smile, I've never seen, I don't know the color of your skin. Your voice and laughter I've never heard, I don't know if it is soft or loud. Your hugs I've never felt, I don't know the strength of your arms. Your hand I've never touched, I don't know if it is calloused and worn. But to me you're my friend, dearer and sweeter than many I've found. Questions come to me, "How can that be?" "You don't know a face, a touch, or a sound." But is it the physical nature of a person that causes me to call you, 'my friend'? Or the feel of a touch or the strength of a hug. I don't need those for you to be my friend. You've shared with me words of strength when times I've felt weak and worn. You've brought to me a smile, a laugh uplifting me and bringing me joy. You've bent your "ear" to me and listened then gently guided and directed with words. You've hugged me tight, wiped my tears, then generously gave above and beyond. You are more to me than words on a screen because behind those words is a person who cares. A person with feelings, a tear, and a laugh, who holds my mind safe and secure. For even though I don't know your face, your touch, I feel and see you in my mind. You've been all that I've needed you to be Now and forever-within my heart always- My Faceless Friend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dedicated to Jen and all of my faceless friends. You have touched my heart people of TPL. Thank you |
