Farewell Friends
It was a day for friends. I'm tired now, and intend to sleep soon.
But today, my friends carried me. I fear that I lean on them too much, too often. I am too needful of my friends' support. Perhaps that's why I wear them out so quickly.
Then, they go away and are missed so terribly that I must wear out the ones who remain simply so that I might survive.
I owe gratitude to friends who protect me from those who wish to disparage me. I am glad that I give love to those who deserve it, and it doesn't cost me or detract from me, in the least.
I hope the ones who leave me know that they will be missed, and those who stay know that they will be loved.
