More than a Friend….

When we see the rainbow it’s a symbol of rebirth

As we listen to the bird song, recalling our life’s worth

We see the new born seedlings with their shoots so green and new

Beginnings of our newest day with those brighter skies of blue

Blackened heavy rain filled clouds have scattered life with tears

And filled our life with torment at times throughout the years

We’d crash to ground without a friend to help us understand

Within that pain and anguish they are there to hold our hand

We can soar above the mountains climb those skies to dizzy heights

Feel the rays of morning sun and we relish those delights

Our damaged wings spread wide we are the eagle in our sky

And those friends will hold on tightly while we’re learning how to fly

We often fall back down to earth but now before we land

The warm and gentle breeze of friends holds out that helping hand

As we rise above the heartache, leave those worries far behind

Upon a breeze of happiness we never thought we’d find

Without our friends to share in this it wouldn’t mean a thing

The kindness that they show us helps to mend our broken wing

Its then that we remember that life really is worthwhile

And when we think we’re beaten help us walk another mile

Have a wonderful weekend my friend

Time passes.

Life happens.

Distance separates.

Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.

Love waxes and wanes.

Men don't do what they're supposed to do.

Hearts break.

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Careers end.

BUT... Sisters are there, no matter how much time

and how many miles are

between you. A girl friend is never farther away

than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you

have to walk it by

yourself, the women in your life will be on the

valley's rim, cheering you

on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on

your behalf, and

waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk

beside you... or come in

and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,

daughters-in-law, sisters,

sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers, aunties,

nieces, cousins, and

extended family, all bless our life! The world

wouldn't be the same without

women, and neither would I. When we began this

adventure called womanhood,

we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows

that lay ahead. Nor did we

know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

I Love this music!!  Thanks so much for the beautiful poem you left on my space.  It is exactly how I feel ;-) 

Have a wonderful week my dear and come back soon for another visit!

Hugs,

Theresa
