Today is my best friends birthday. This is a gift for her, so she knows how much I need and appreciate not what she does….but who she is…happy birthday Alisa.


My True Ruth

in a complicated life
you make things easy
with a heart so full
changing all you touch
listening to joy and sorrow
never once in judgment
helping me find my way
Ruth gave up her all
you
are my true Ruth
keeping my secrets
spreading shared happiness
taking on problems
as one of your own
redefining the definition
of special and friend
loving me
knowing me
deeper than my skin
a miracle happened
and it was born
years ago today

I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.
