Friend in Need

I think I lost a friend today,
I have no reason why.
It’s just she seemed to fade away,
Not even a last sigh.

I don’t think that it’s what I said,
My words could only please.
Maybe she felt that where I led,
She couldn’t go with ease.

My pathways take in many things,
That I take in my stride.
But maybe where my music sings,
From this she’d rather hide?

But friends in need, are friends indeed,
And I will not turn back.
If others follow where I lead,
They’ll share what’s in my sack.

I hope my friend’s not disappeared,
And very soon will show.
That she can still be friends with me,
Wherever I may go.

She doesn’t have to trace my steps,
Are share in every deed.
For losing her would make me sad,
I’m now the friend in need.
