"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
— Maya Angelou


Here I am.
In Winter snow,
Here I am.
In Summer blow,

I am here,
I am there,
I guess you could say
I’m everywhere.

Time, to me, poses no threat.
Care for some midday tea?
How about a midnight snack?
I am not Time’s servant.
Time is mine.

If you have a friend
In need of help,
Be there for her.
Don’t let her yelp.

Be there.
In snow or blow.
Be there.
Everywhere.
Be there.
Day or night.
Be there.
Her hand hold tight.

Like all people, I've had hard times. But I don't always have friends who are there for me. It's not often, but no one should have to go through anything without support from her friends.
