Thanks So Much

There are no words to describe How much your friendship means to me. Abundant times you lend an ear, a helping hand, Notwithstanding your own problems, Knowing what a difference it makes to my life… Stabilizing a tottery sense of purpose. Steadily, through the years, you have proved your worth Offering support when hope hangs by a thread…and My fragile expectations succumb to despair… Until each time you come to my rescue Carrying the weight of my inadequacy Helping – with love – expecting nothing in return. ----------------------------------- Thanks-Acrostic Poetry Contest Sponsored by Beata Agustin Placed 1st © 23rd June, 2020
