Friends are indeed angels

Friends are indeed angels

I suddenly started feeling
a little down,
for no apparent reason,
just a feeling of melancholy,
casting itself throughout my being.

A feeling,
I am sure
every so often creeps into
any of us.

But when we have
angels, friends,
really good friends,
they can wipe that
down-ness,
that melancholy feeling,
away faster than it
can ever creep into
our being.

I called a friend today,
when the creeping started
and being the angel
she is, wiped away
the sad creeping was.

Thanks for being an angel in my life Jo.
