The Whispering Winds

Like the wind whispering through the trees,
Your spirit lifts me,
Teaching me valuable lessons.
I wait patiently to grow in the light of your eyes,
Seeking approval, knowing
There's comfort in your silent embrace,
And I listen carefully to what it offers.
I feel the joy in your laughter and trusting eyes
And learn to give of myself, for no judgment is passed.
When sadness fills my heart with disappointment
And I need protection from the storm,
It is only then I realize the depth of friendship
Sewn together with unbreakable thread.
I understand that the fabric only gets better with age,
That it should be handled with care,
And sometimes it has to rain.
I have discovered my own beauty
By lessons learned while discovering yours.
Like a beautiful sky after the storm,
Your courage to break free of the clouds
Still amazes me.
I close my eyes to feel the warmth of the sun.
Such a precious gift you've given,
Appreciating the gentleness and I sigh with thankfulness,
Recognizing my fortune.
A sisterly bond that knows only
Love that is unconditional.
Nurturing with grace and acceptance.
How lucky
To share a piece of my life with a soul that so perfectly fits mine.
A puzzle with missing pieces
Now complete.
How sad for those who are still searching.
My blessings are abundant,
And I thank God for the whispering winds,
For they remind me every day
To celebrate the gift of our friendship and to hold it close,
To never let it go.
