Just. Great.

The summit of a situation
Requires a voice above the winds;
Steady heart and staid hands.
Someone who says
I know where you were
And I know where you are.

I didn't ask for the challenge
Of turning "just" to "great".
I don't remember asking for a best friend.
I don't recall wanting a Compadre.
I do remember the hope for someone who tried to understand.
I got what I prayed for.
