A listening ear, an open heart,
A friend who always does her part.
She lends an objective listening ear,
She knows when I need a smile or tear.
She doubles my
joy, and divides my sorrow,
Giving me strength to face tomorrow.
When I need it, she gives me a spiritual lift.
Her empathy and compassion are truly a gift.
When I do something dumb, or let someone down,
She helps me to see how to turn it around.
Sharing family stories, our hopes and our dreams,
We relate so much to each other it seems.
Spending the day laughing, and shopping for fun,
Sharing and caring, we eat on the run.
Collecting fabric as we go,
With grandiose plans of things to sew…
Though projects pile up in our closets I fear,
The real treasure we craft, is a friendship so dear.
