They have been my greatest friends lately,

all of them unseen.

Yet they keep me company in these times that I can see.

Sometimes, I feel them crank away with joy

in sweet noisy bantering.

Sometimes, I see them stretch their hands

for handshakes in the grinding.

Sometimes, they smile, wink, and laugh hard at me.

In a mix of comfort and some little hurting,

they have been the best friends I know.

All these things I see,

…all of them unseen.

Hope, faith, care, and love…

I see them all,

…all of them unseen.

Tenacity, belief, and assurances…

I see them all,

…all of them unseen.

My new unseen friends,

I see them all.
