        Guide, Shoulder, Rock, Playmate. . ..
 

A friend
           is a warm hearth on a  bitter night
 
A friend
            is a soft but steady light
            just when it seems dark has won
 
A friend
            is a listening ear and a comforting pat
 
A friend
            is a longed-for breeze
            is a tickled toe
 
A friend
             is the laugh you didn't think you'd laugh
             ever again
 
A friend
             is a chance to cry your heart out
             without fear of being judged
             then be dragged for ice cream
             or a hit of your favorite beverage
             in your very favorite spot
 
A friend
            is a gulp of air when you are drowning
            is a sip of water when you are parched
            is the sparkle in an eye, is the catch in a voice
            is a reminder to shape up, like, now
            is a phone call, is a backyard bouquet
            is a prayer, or a lot
 
A friend
            is a full stomach and a missing list
            of worries and can't-wait chores
            is a smile over a hospital bed
            is a cup, is a straw, is a Hush
            please, my friend needs rest
  
A friend
             is stubborn, take it or leave it
             is not perfect, see above
 
My friends
             I am in awe, and I always will be
             Look no further for proof of God.

A friend - someone who steps in when the whole world steps out - Pea, I cherish our friendship. Time to spruce up and fill the birdfeeder for the Carolina wren. Tell Ray hi and I know he has his hands full with paint brush and turpentine while you fill the glasses with dinner wine...

Love,
Sage, your gliterati Hollywood gay starlet with silver wingtips on her lavender boots and tie-dye bandanna...yippee-ti-yo!
