This Friendship
fits—
like a favorite sweater
reached for when
winter's cold fingers clutch
my bones.
Comforting, warm, soothing,
your love envelopes me
when I despair.
This friendship
blossoms—
a delicate yet enduring rose
undaunted by withering sun
or bitter frost,
raising her dewy face
to joyously greet the dawn.
Each petal whispers a deeper
shade of velvety love.
This friendship
shines—
glitters and sparkles—
illuminating my world
with laughter and life,
like a million stars scattered
across the heavens on a cool
autumn night,
blinking hope and love,
guiding me through darkness
to a haven of serenity,
sureness, acceptance, and joy.
This friendship . . .
