An Open Door

An Open Door

I've just come around

I'm new here

You see

And well,

I've needed someone

To love me for me.

A friendly hello

The warmth of a hug

A kind listening ear

To be close to hear

The thoughts of my heart

Whatever they be.

I've needed someone

To be here for me.

A door opens

A friendly smile.

A friend you've been

All the while.

To me yes,

You have opened the door.

I know you’re a friend

And so much more.

Though I am new,

You hardly know me.

You've offered your kindness

So willingly.

Now thank you,

I must say

For I feel so free

To come to your door

And share a bit of me.

You listen so kindly.

Your caring does show.

I'm thankful for your friendship.

I want you to know.
