"Miracle of a Friend"
***dedicated to someone very special***

Life is complex
With all its twists and turns
The happiness makes you cry for joy
The pain sometimes an endless burn

Everyday is a blessing
Though most of us don't see it that way
We complain about the things gone wrong
The troubles of our day

Then comes along someone who is different
They understand exactly whats in your heart
It's not a connection of romance
But the greatest friendship from the start

Words are not needed
For they feel what you feel
Never do you have to question
Is your friendship for real

For you're always on the same page
Reading from the exact same book
Words need not be exchanged
Messages conveyed with a single look

It's as though a miracle has happened
You know your friendship won't end
In that moment of truth and sincerity
You realize you've recieved the miracle of a friend

Amy~

Yes, true friends are miracles, and you penned this superbly.  What a wonderful dedication from your heart!  It's a comforting thought when you know that you have found that kindred friend, one who will always be there.

Take care,

Aims, this is beautiful.  A friend could not ask for anything more than this, BUT that's not something I need to tell you.  You are a remarkable friend yourself, and I consider myself extremely fortunate.  Wonderful, girl, just wonderful!  *sniff*

This is beauty and truth in a beautiful package.   I'm printing this to give it to some of my wonderful friends.  


Can I be your willful breeze,
Come to touch,
Your heart to ease?

Well if this is for Kris then I would say that you have found a dear friend for sure.  What a beautiful write from the depths of your soul and heart and I know she will treasure this one forever.  Now as her friend......please prepare her for that day in October when she has to praise the Cardinals.  I know it will be hard on her but it is something she will have to do.

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together

Hi Aimster,

Wonderful and truthful write here, and you have been blessed to find such a friend because it does not happen very often, I am happy for you.

Love, Cerenity
