My Friend
To my friend
The one with a big heart
The one who gives,
never expecting to receive
The one who carries pains,
wants and desires
deep in her heart
The one who is
always willing to
listen, give advice
and never judges.
The one who sometimes I
wish more like her
I could be.
Strong yet soft
Firm but kind
Intelligent, yet down to earth
Together, yet independent
Unshaken, yet moveable
One who will give
of her heart, mind, soul
and body to bring
joy, love, peace or
enlightenment to another,
a lesser to make stronger.
She will reach out a hand
to a hurting soul, she has
seen pain and knows
it can be overcome.
I am thankful for
a friend like her.
I have never had such a
friend. No one else
has ever come close
without an ulterior
sinister motive.
She is someone to laugh with,
cry with. A gentle soul to protect and
be protected by. Like a
sister I never had.
Sometimes the pain, behind her eyes
when she does not always want to go on.
The strength and resolve that follow after
the pain.
Only those of great courage and deep
souls have the light that fills their eyes.
A quiet resolve to go on.
that indeed I see in her.
A fighting spirit, like a horse,
though even in pain will carry
their rider the distance.
Deep in my heart she is, with very other few souls who have touched me so
deeply
