Friendship's Reward

He sat there in his chair
As darkness came to play.
He felt his pain was churning
And hope none had mind to pay.

He smiled a smile as best he could.
He thought they would never know,
Then again he thought
His adventure was alone.

Days went by just like a blur
And now his secret's out,
Too many people forcing him
To do just what they could without.

They don't understand
This man's new young friend.
He disregards the doctor's job
While his patient he defends.

Sinking into twilight
The weakened voice does call
And thanks the friend for moment's peace
Before eternal sleep will fall.
