FRIENDS.

I did not know I had friends,

Until somebody had to stop traffic for me.

I did not know I had friends until somebody

had to watch the road for me.

I did not know I had friends, until somebody had to give up their pleasure,for my comfort.

I did not know I had friends,

Until somebody had to miss a day's work

because I had a hospital appointment.

I did not know I had friends

Until I fell ill and could not support myself.

I did not know I had friends,

Until somebody had to loose something.
so that I could gain.

I did not know I had friends,

Until somebody said they loved me to make me feel better.

I did not know I had friends until I became so sick.

I did not know that anybody cared

Until I could not care for myself.

I did not know I had neighbours,

Until I needed to know.

I did not know God existed

Until I became so desperate.

I did not know I was so human

Until somebody made me feel less human.

I did not know anything,

Until somebody said I knew.

Now I know something,

That I never knew anything.

Until I was accused of knowing something,
Something I still know not!
