Just Looking

I've had many friends in life, seems fortune smiled each day

Some came by me for just a while, and some have gone their way

My sister came to be my friend,

And then my best-est too,

For after many years of life,

She's remained tried and true

And over time I've also learned

Some values of my own

To be my own best friend is good

Especially when alone

But there is another kind of friend missing for a while

Seems nearly fifteen years have passed without a best friend's smile

And not for lack of looking, nor for lack of need

Not for lack of anything, I guess, just lack for me

But travelers do get lonely,

And sojourners feel the strain,

When years go by without a love

They sometimes cry in pain

Someone to laugh with me in spring, in summer love the sun,

To work together all year long, sharing what may come

Someone to cuddle in the night, and spoon when it gets cold

To live and love in full and lean, to grow on till we're old

So if you spy a traveler, wandering lone and free,

Who says she's looking for a friend and wants some company

If she is kind and true of heart, a friend to all she meets

If you've a love to call your own, please send her on to me
