Friendship
A Villanelle



A touch of kindness to inspire.
Hand reaching out, offering hope.
A heart for honest desire.

When my neighbor's eyes burn fire,
A trace of sincerity helps to cope.
A touch of kindness to inspire.

A candid voice to admire.
Encouraging words deny the slope.
A heart for honest desire.

A hug, a smile always inquire.
The first step is tether the rope.
A touch of kindness to inspire.

Friendship heart to heart leads to hope.
We all need sweet concern to cope.
A touch of kindness to inspire.
A heart for honest desire.
