That friend is You

True friends

see deep within

sweet insides of your heart,

into sacred spaces

hidden from

the facets of this world;

For a heart bud

nourished with deep trust

and selfless love

blooms to release

the inner fragrance

of all that is truly you-

beauty in imperfection,

simple joy

and burning sorrow;

Yet, that friend

loves you greater still

while they protect

your gentle heart

with affectionate petals

of ceaseless love,

For now, you live

within the very core

of their giving heart

And they- within yours.

That friend is you My Lord

That friend is you

within the heart of a friend.
