My Friend Mike

A Rising to the Challenge Contest Entry

I made a friend during this mess.
What a wonderful heart.
In a time of incredible stress;
He surely did his part.

What a wonderful heart.
You might not see at first look,
then it’s like an open book.

In this time of incredible stress;
Gratitude is what I feel,
for helping me keep it real.

He surely did his part.
Knowing I was soon to roam,
his prayers may have got me home.

(LC:13)
