The Positive Friend – Written November 2000 (Aged 25)

The Positive Friend

do not be afraid
you have got a little of me
do not be afraid
i know the value of you
what can be, will be saved
what cannot,
will only mean the future cannot be delayed
do not be so down
look positive
smile but never like a clown
polish up those shoes
jigsaw puzzles are for the bored
so dispense of the worry you have about the clues
do not be afraid
not when we have high hopes
that cannot afford to be late
i know you will always cope
because you are so positive
i know you do not hate




James Garratt – November 2000
