When my soul is under the weather
When the sunlight seems dim
And the shimmer and shine has dulled
I hide from my offspring
I hide from the world
Put on a brave face
And lie to them all
Because people don’t want to deal
With the moods and emotions of another
Only those who truly want to know
When they ask how you are
Will reach out and call you out
On knowing that something is off
Those are the souls that I am so grateful for
Those are the souls that I aim to be like
The meaning of friend to the core
Not just a face to show to the world
Not just a status to get something from
My tribe
My heart
I love you dears

My post was a guy on his death bed, disinheriting his son. So there might have been love but I wouldn’t put money on it 🙂
