This poem is one of thanks.
And it is for you.

Dear friend, you are a woman of extraordinary depth.
You feel.
You feel for others who forget to.

You raise your children.
You raise them. Up. On the Up and Up.

Rising, and raising is hard. We both know it. We drop down, we fall dark at times.
We love. It all. Superpower: Pow!
It’s hard work, feeling all the spaces made by lugnuts, loggerheads and stunods.

But, we don’t judge. And when we do, we find compassion too.

I am unbelievably thankful for you, my dear friend. A woman who feels.
A woman who helps me. Know myself. And laugh.

It can all be a grand comedy sometimes, in between the tragedy bits.

Thank you for getting it. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being my friend.

Much love and laughter to you in 2018.

Love, Your friend

 

 

P.S. Thank you for oSm gifts too. Awesome.
