Hello there, had a lazy day yesterday, well apart from cooking dinner and washing and wiping-up! So not really much to tell, so I thought I'd share a poem with you that I wrote for a very dear friend. Hope you like it.
Friendship comes to those that it accept it,
some may catch the briefest glimpse
but never know the true meaning.
It is not anticipated nor deserving,
or scorned upon by those who do not understand.
Instead it is like a flower that blooms,
slowly unfolding its delicate petals
to reveal the beauty that lies within.
It is an unknown force that guides not leads,
shining its light to cast out the darkness,
an essence of purity and thoughtfulness
that listens when nobody else can hear.
The anchor that braces you against the storm,
when the waves of life come crashing down.
It is the first star on which you make your first wish,
when all thoughts of hope are all but gone,
they are the arms that will carry you
if your burdens are too heavy to bear,
and it is the greatest gift of kindness
that is always given and never expected.
Such a wonderous thing this is to behold,
to be bestowed with warmth and compassion
that above all, is both honest and true.
For I am one of the lucky ones,
to have been offered this hand of kinship,
and I feel honoured for the fact that I know you,
my guiding light, my evening star, my friend.
I wrote this to a special friend who was there for me during my dark times, who understood my troubles and helped to guide me through the hurt and pain that I was suffering at that time. We all have friends, but some of those stand out from the others, and it's a shame that so many get forgotten along the way, but there are always one or two who will be there no matter what, and she is one of those. So I dedicate todays entry to Sonia, my very special and best friend.
