POETRY: THE CRIES TO A FRIEND BY IFECHUKWU K. MUONYILI



The Cries to a Friend












Take my hands
When you see me fall
Take my hands
When I can't stand tall
Take my hands
When worse has been said
Take my hands
When I've been misled.

Hear my voice
When I call your name
Hear my voice
When I cause the blame
Hear my voice
When I'm in great pain
Hear my voice
When I'm soiled in stain.

Draw me close
When I've lost all hope
Draw me close
When I'm high on dope
Draw me close
 When weak is my bone
Draw me close
Don't raise your tone.

There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city".
