Night Latch Friendship
Night Latch Friendship
The kids had quit crying
The dishes were picked up
The dryer was drying
Now coffee in my cup
I tried to call you then
My brief moment today
Voicemail picked up again
Maybe you’re feeding hay?
It took a few hours
But you Facebook’d me back
Bottle calf had scours
So you picked up the slack
I saw my phone had chimed
But I was elbow deep
This diaper was ill timed
Hopefully now he’ll sleep
Day had turned into night
Before I texted you
Standing under stage light
Had been your current view
You tried me back Monday
But I couldn’t be found
The skies had turned dark grey
My cell service was down
By Wednesday I emailed
No I hadn’t forgot
My husband’s help had bailed
I’s driving truck a lot
It took a whole week
Before we said hello
Now with the chance to speak
A fit the kids will throw
Our schedules still don’t match
We haven’t spoken in years
You’re there like a night latch
When his head disappears
Thanks for all the friendship
It’s been quite the bronc ride
Thanks for taking this trip
Of being a ranch bride
I hope you know I’m here
When your life gets you down
I’m your listening ear
When you think you will drown
Our paths may be detached
But one thing is for sure
As good friends we were matched
Just know that we’ll endure
