RW10: An untitled poem about the gifts of friendship

I wrote this poem earlier this month after helping a friend move to the DC area.  It speaks of the hidden graces of time with friends.  


A friend in need,
of a place to lay her head,
store her bags,
as she settles in a new city;

A friend in need of a purpose for the next month,
An outlet to serve,
And a routine to help her sleep well again,

Meeting one another's needs,
As they share Trader Joe's and their affinity for Harry Potter,
Both begin to approach more peaceful states...
