Like the wind whispering through the trees Your spirit lifts me Teaching me valuable lessons. I wait patiently to grow in the light of your eyes Seeking approval, knowing There's comfort in your silent embrace, And I listen carefully to what it offers. I feel the joy in your laughter and trusting eyes And learn to give of myself, for no judgment is passed. When sadness fills my heart with disappointment And I need protection from the storm, It is only then I realize the depth of friendship Sewn together with unbreakable thread. I understand that the fabric only gets better with age, That it should be handled with care And sometimes it has to rain. I have discovered my own beauty By lessons learned while discovering yours. Like a beautiful sky after the storm Your courage to break free of the clouds Still amazes me. I close my eyes to feel the warmth of the sun Such a precious gift you've given Appreciating the gentleness and I sigh with thankfulness Recognizing my fortune. A sisterly bond that knows only Love that is unconditional. Nurturing with grace and acceptance How lucky To share a piece of my life with a soul that so perfectly fits mine. A puzzle with missing pieces Now complete How sad for those who are still searching. My blessings are abundant And I thank God for the whispering winds, For they remind me everyday To celebrate the gift of our friendship and to hold it close, To never let it go.
