I extended my hand 🤚
But you would not take it
I offered you bread 🍞
But you would not eat
I passed you my cup
But you would not drink 🍷
I asked if you needed a friend
You said loneliness is a better companion
I bow my head vowing not to give up
So I take their hand
I give them my bread
And share my wine
I have hope that their heart will soften
And that they’ll see that friendship
Could be the difference they’ve always needed in their life
True friendship can last forever
Be open to what it has to offer
Don’t turn your back to it
Believe in it
Don’t close the door to it
Keep your mind and heart open
Friendship will come and grow
