How little in me is not touched by you!
How little in me is not touched by you!
A friendship is a light that fills the heart,
Painting with its gold each darkened hue,
Providing warmth to each sequestered part.
You are the mirror of my better self,
Verifier of the best in me,
A bridge across the unsuspected gulf
Lodged between what can and ought to be.
Expectations can be wings, not bars,
Necessary to sustain our flight.
The faith of friends in us is wholly ours,
Incoming to uplift us to its height.
No soul can see itself, but must depend,
Each on each, upon a trusted friend.

Hi Kira, nice to see you posting with us again!! I've missed you. You've been on my mind too, and I keep meaning to email you. What a lovely poem you posted!! Did you write it yourself? The next time I communicate with Wanda, I'll try to remember to tell her you posted a poem for her. You should know, though, that her computer is on its last legs, so it is very difficult for her to get on ELC & read or post.
