This poem is for a friend who is moving away. It is for all my friends though, the ones on Poetbay too. It is from a writing prompt, just the line "17. Light in the Window".


A Light in the Window



There will always be
a light in the window
you will always
have a friend
someone who loves you
for what bubbles up inside
instead of the false front
you show the world.

There will always be
a light in the window
if you ever pass this way
if you ever come down
this road again
if you ever lighten
my doorstep
with your smile.

There will always be
a light in the window
I have never
had a truer friend
than you
I'm honored to know you
in this time
in this place.
