Blessed Friendship




Your sweet words and outstretched hand
Are always there, guiding me forward
Your loving encouragement, gentle ways
Provide me with such comfort, a soft ease

There is no way I could ever express
The thankfulness I have in my heart
Everything I have struggled through
You have been there by my side

A broken heart or trampled feelings
Your hand is always there, outstretched
Pulling me up with your words of love
Never leaving me, never letting me down.



~*~*~*~*~

You came into my life
Like a beacon in the fog
My soul lost in the confusion
Of a life gone astray


You befriended me when I was most alone
My heart, how it cried for understanding
You heard those cries amidst hearts aching
And you reached out to me


A friendship grew from chatroom fun
To nights of hours filled with tears and laughter
A time for healing and growing
Two hearts reaching out for the same dream

~*~*~*~*~

This eternal bond of friendship we share
A friendship through the test of time withstanding
Always being by each others side, if just in spirit
Our friendship forever embedded, our hearts forever blessed.

Thank you all for your kinds words, I am passing the credit to Tara, without your friendship Tara, my words would not exist. You managed to bring tears to my eyes when we wrote this today. I again, am in tears, your friendship has been my foundation for sanity, love, and trust in people for so long, it is second nature to love you.

With Much Adoration, I love you Tara.


HUGS ALL!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Ter.

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.
