Our Treasured Friendship

My dearest friend, I tip my hat to you For all the wonderful things you do I give you a thankful nod of my head For the encouraging things you've said When I feel that I might be drowning You chase away my reason for frowning When life is dark, and I need a guiding light You smile at me and my world glows bright When my heart was shattered and broken You healed it with words, softly spoken Then somehow you made me clearly see That life has so much more to offer me When you wiped away each sorrowful tear My misery always seemed to disappear You have a way of easing my suffering By insolating my heart with gentle buffering When clouds above me start turning grey You take a deep breath and blow them away And in those times I've been under attack You rescued me; always guarding my back You're more beautiful than any rainbow You're no fair weather friend, that I know You are the honey bee within my flower Sweetening me when I suddenly turn sour ~ ~ ~ For your love, compassion and so much more I must tell you, in case I've not said it before You are treasured more than any work of art Our friendship is carved deep within my heart October 20, 2020 ~ ~ From the Heart Regina McIntosh ~ ~ Sponsor

A gorgeous poem Jenna, belated congrats on POTD, sorry I missed this! Just try to ignore the rude and ignorant comments, the trolls don't stay very long and rarely post any poems.
