Kindred Spirit

Within a Castles walls
I often pondered deep
But little did I know
Friends I’d find to keep
One dear man
Made his presences known
A birthday wish he gave me
At a time I felt alone
He left me more than words
More than just well wishes
A part of himself he gave
For that I give him kisses
He opened his arms to me
A shoulder on which to cry
I poured my heart to him
Leaving naught a dry eye
I found a Kindred Spirit
Within his words I read
Of suffering held silent
And pain that goes unsaid
He spoke of loss
Of this I can relate
For to bear this cross
A kinship did create
It brought us closer
Speaking of things we share
To feel each others pain
It makes one more aware
In this big wide world
We are not alone
All one needs do is look
To make our presences known.
