Your Friendship

Your friendship is the gentle blow of wind through the trees
The sunlight that warms me and makes me feel toasty
The puppy that snuggles up, giving me her soft sigh.
Your friendship gives me what I need to be fully me

Your smiling face helps me to be the marigold I can be.
To show off my variegated petals, and to shine my truth
Your encouraging words allow me to be the fairy pixie I am
To flit amongst the trolls, and not be brought down by them

Your mirth helps me to bray like a goat, with silliness in my heart.
To be fully me, for the cool blueness of your skies shows me love.
Your friendship brings me the happiness I need to face this world
With its pandemic, and its distrust and its not so gentle ways.

Your friendship is the butterfly flitting through the forest
Leading me toward the sunlight that glimpses me through the trees
You are my soul’s companion, soothing and comforting me
In times of happiness and times of stress. I love you friend.
