I Need A Friend- a poem prompted by carers

THERE are so many things one cannot see.What does the future hold for me?There's so much love to give and get, so many people I've never met.

I sometimes wonder if there's a ray of hope.

If things start happening, will I cope?

I'd like to hide , just disappear,

but there's always something that I fear.

If you read this and you have a heart,

Will you open your arms and make me a part?

In your life is there room for two?

I really need a friend, a friend like you.
