When you're tired and worn at the close of day And things just don't seem to be going your way, When even your patience has come to an end, Try taking time out and confide in a friend. Perhaps he too may have walked the same road With a much troubled heart and burdensome load, To find peace and comfort somewhere near the end, When he stopped long enough to confide in a friend. For then are most welcome a few words of cheer, For someone who willingly lends you an ear. No troubles exist that time cannot mend, But to get quick relief, just confide in a friend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WOODSMOKE AT 70 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE SACRAL DREAMS OF RAMON FERNANDEZ by JAMES GALVIN A BANJO SONG by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE SUICIDE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON DISMAL MOMENT PASSING by CLARENCE MAJOR STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 5.
