a poem to my very dear friend

Didn’t save me,
Taught me to save myself

A struggling single mom
The weight of the world like lead

Instead of swooping down to fix it
You stormed in-
Turned it upside down in my head
Showed me I had the strength
To repair the damage and quiet the chaos

Thank you, my friend

True friendship.
Sometimes they come in quietly, sometimes loud.
But they always come.

Very touching, Karen. There are friends who care enough to give emotional support when the chips are down. Then those horse chips one day dry up and blow away. Nice tribute to your friend. Also shows your strong side, Karen...Blessed Be.
