Somewhere... out there...

you came to me-
i shut you out
you offered friendship
but my loneliness
fell victim to doubt

in my attempt to rebuild
my shattered soul
i failed to see the pieces
held so carefully
in your hands

patiently
you waited for me
to accept them

today
my eyes
have been opened
my soul
now restored
takes comfort
in the warmth of
your friendship

thank you...my friend
i love you

Love, in all its manifestations, is the best restorer of souls. Glad you saw and shared.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Vicky~
This is just so lovely.
What a treasure friendship can be.
I feel you've touched on a most important
part of being a friend ...
As a friend we have to come back again and again
to maintain the friendship with loving care.

May be one of my favorites of yours.
Love ya'
