IDa

She's always been there...

to pick up the
pieces of love left behind by a lover
pieces of a soul that frayed at the seam
pieces of a name once whole yet to be grounded again

She's always been there...

when the going got tough
reminding one of their worth
reminding one of their value
reminding one of their birth

She's always been there...

Are you privileged to know her?

Only in the Blue Room am I acquainted with her, MS E, but you are correct in your assumption of the gentle one.

I've only had the pleasure of knowing Ida from these forums, but your tribute expounds greatly on the kindness I have seen in her. You lucky to know someone like that in person... and Ida, we can't thank you enough for what you've shared with us all.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on the poem.
A true friendship, when you find it, is very rare.
I hope you all have a friend like Ida in your
life. I would love to read about your BBF.
