On any given day
when my belief may have waned
Or at the times I was filled
with puffed up self
You’ve been there beside me
loving me
You’re the best kind of friend
any one could ever hope for
In my quiet time
and when I’m dancing with delight
I know gratitude
for you in my life
Thank you…
We met in such a casual way
and instantly I liked you
Though times, I wondered
“What the heck?”
Many more times, I’ve just enjoyed you
It seems forever we’ve been friends
an eternity I’ve known you
And in my heart such gratitude
for the opportunity to walk beside you
in appreciation of your being
Someone I can count on
this day and every one
Thank you for being my friend…
Harvesting the fruit
in the autumn of our lives
Awakening together
at dawn or the middle of the day
We go along our separate paths
gathering the rich bounty
with arms open wide
sweet, juicy, lovely
We return home together again
surrounded and nurtured
by life’s, love’s Grace…
An old friend from long ago
you just showed up on my doorstep
With a smile and a hug
and all the spunk and verve
you always had
As it it were just yesterday
that I saw you last
My heart didn’t know the difference
though my eyes perceived the truth
of a lifetime spent living fully
a vibrant spirit expressing
Welcome back into my life, friend…
Side by side adventures
We embark upon each day
New challenges and pathways
You ascend the mountain
I traverse the vale
and all the while
We share support and care
Partners, cohorts, buddies
Companions on the journey
