Brenda Glotfelty Poet I do not know?

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
