Her spirits are down, I feel it deep within my own soul
The pain she has endured though, has left her feeling less than whole
Tears stinging her face, as she confides in me
We are the best of friends, able to set each other free

If she feels an once of the pain I feel inside
It's no wonder she just wants to run away and hide
My heart breaks, silently, without making a sound
The earth is shaking beneath us, as we both search for more stable ground

Her quiet comfort helps me, even when no words are said
It helps to ease the pain, to clear my head
Some wounds just won't heal, but it's nice to know someone understands
When she needs a friend, I'll be here with an outstretched hand

Rain and fire has drenched us both, how is it someone understands me?
Maybe it's I've finally found a true friend, and myself in her I see
I have someone I love, but still it's nice to have that person who just knows
As I smile with pride and watch our friendship grow


"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Well I am Sharon too, and having been in the dumps myself I kind of claimed this too   What a lovely piece for your friend and I do hope you share it with her, as it made me more cheerful myself having just read it.  Happy Holidays.

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

Oh, I do understand your feelings here, as I have found a friend who I know will be there for me, as I am for her.  There is nothing as precious as a good friend, someone to share with...~S~

Friends can care and share without even saying a word. Just being together in companionable silence can be very healing. May your friendship blossom and grow and may joy replace all the pain in both of your lives. A very touching write, Dear Amy!

Warm loving hugs to both you and your friend,
Linda

thank you all for your wonderful replies.
i've been going through some very hard
times these past few months, and it's mean
the world to have all of you around me.
also  my friend sharon is the absolute
best so if I've paid her some sort of
small justice, then I'm very happy!

take care and happy holidays to you all,
amy
