A friend is a friend indeed

You opened like a flower,
your seeds bear, leaves outstretched to the sun.
Naked and exposed you shiver afraid of the burn
Resolution begins to take pace, setting sun, the time has come
take what you've learned, your fears, the hurt of these years.

organize them in a suitcase, and clasp it closed.
Take your dreams and let them be exposed.
you are wise, my old chap
you know what road you must travel
so take all your things and put on your cap

walk down the road, into the future that may be,
and stop looking back,
because you will always find me.
