I hope it makes your friends happy

I promise I can count them in my sleep
Those bonds that can be traced back to the stars
They may be many, but all mine to keep
They share in my beauty, as well as scars

Some have travelled through time to different paths
Our level of comfort comes with strangeness
The change that can fill a man’s mind with wrath
Especially those once filled with kindness

Stay close to your friends, do not wander far
Be the voice they hear when others are wrong
Speak the words that heal, not those that will mar
When all is lost, you will be a new song

I hope it really makes your friends happy
That you are there when the world feels crappy
