Finding David

please give me forever your helping hand

Having lost a dear friend to suicide, my memory is laced with loving recollection amidst melancholy reconciliations. Yet, I’m finding it vital to always be a friend.

I spoke with David today
he came by to say
it’s possible, always possible
that I’ve found a way
to let sweet music play
inside myself, inside myself
David, as you seek
you’ll be what you believe
may you find forever
all you need.

But it’s okay to wander
it’s okay to fall
it’s possible, always possible
you know, love and pain
go hand in hand
while living out feelings
that you have
inside yourself, inside yourself
David, you are a child
you are a man
may you find forever
a helping hand.

Go on down to your river
while you’re strong and still able
find there what you left as a child
remember those times
you wept and wound up
in a loved…
