There is a lot of pain and despair in the world and i don't mean far away in TV news land but often right next to us. The smiling faces we encounter everyday often are harboring pain known to no one else, suffering alone and in silence, like a quiet storm, like silent rain, dry eyes soaked in unseen tears, need to let the pain go, need to see the rainbow... keep your eyes on the rainbow.

Was listening to this song I wrote over a decade ago and recorded with a very dear friend, Tutu... decided to post it. Sometimes we just need a reason to go on, some source of inner strength to make us believe that there is a day after the night, that the tiny light at the end of the tunnel is indeed bright and full, to avoid embracing the darkness in fear that the hope of the day may disappoint... but if one finds a reason to believe that one can, a reason to stand up and try, a reason to give it all one has got, then one will... and that's all that matters. 

A storm means a shelter is needed, the night is the time to shine, true friends make the ups and downs of life less of a burden. This is to friendship, all it stands for and all it means and could mean...
