She helped me surmount



She has had her share of pain, the kind that turns life inside out
She has learned to survive on her own while inside, she wants to shout
She has passed through doubts and came out the other side
She has humbly rebuilt from places where people lied
She has felt broken while still caring for her friend,
who receives her support with a gratitude that will never end
For she shows with angelic action that she understands,
how to care, regardless of where her friend lands
Thank you my friend, in more ways than I can count
Never forget the many things, you helped me surmount!

Awwn this is such a heartfelt and evocative write, dear Heidi! Describing the true essence of friendship as well the abilities through which one is able to radiate kindness despite going through harshness in life... I can say, one is blessed to have the presence of such an angelic and selfless soul! You've described everything in such a heart-touching manner here! Pleasure reading this. Many best wishes and light ~
