Friend,
Soul friend!
Listen, please
hear my sorrow.
My Anam Cara
help me move forward and
let words that part my lips soothe
tomorrow pains, my cheeks tear-stained
of despair, born in my soul; does hurt.
Anam Cara, Soul Friend you never fail!
Good or sad times, you have always been there.
Your companionship is like a salve
on an open wound that soothes the
fear, providing a healing
compassionate safe space
where together we,
seeking God's Grace,
find solace
calm, peace
rest!
