Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves,
to get away,
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
a place where we go to think
things through,
to be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront
our
deepest feelings, Becomes a
storehouse of all our hopes,
all our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of
who we are
and what we want to be.
But now and then, whether by
chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into
that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to
see,
to feel and to share all the
reason,
all the uncertainty and all
the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective
to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in
his own corner of
our special place, Where a bit
of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend
