A CONFIDANTE

A dedication to one who will know why it was written

A confidante is one who will always be there
One whose heart is open when he or she truly cares
Never deceptive, hurtful, or hate-filled
Only a listener and one who extends good will

A confidante shares what is felt within,
And doesn’t look down on one viewed as a friend
He or she merits for worthiness and what’s just
Doesn’t destroy one’s emotions or distrust

A confidante is always there to lend a hand
Never expecting anything in return or making demands
I’ve found that and more in one unique friend
We’re two souls united until time comes to an end

This confidante’s spirit will live long after life
Her soul lingering on to see him through his strife
She gives him her all, has sworn to do so
Even when death calls, she’ll never let go,
For my confidante is cherished more than he’ll ever know.
