just now
you forgot your sorrow
when you laughed
I saw it leave
for just a moment
such bridge in your eyes
from pain unto hope
that look traveled
and made me smile
all the more
at such Hurting's Reprieve
to think
that my humor and words
could somehow build for your
heart
the momentum you need
to get through
the grief
and sustain a finer
inner belief
that makes the effort of
friendship worth the
endeavor to receive
and so for this ideal was such
intent of mine to cleave
