To the keeper of comfort and peace
..an offering to you I must make
All my earthly treasures you may take
just to ease my friends heartache
What is the cost when friends are in pain
Comforting of valued friends is my aim
Empty the vaults of my diamonds and pearls
I would give them to restore peace to their world
Take my laughter..and issue it from their mouth
send my smiles to their lips ..hurrying in a swirl
My gentle doves to them.. have I sent all south
That they may arrive.. to brighten their world
My last penny... I would dig out and to them send
..for no one is penniless when they have a friend
