Friendship is an incomprehensible gift. Its majestic beauty unfolds around me like a rose-tipped sunset. It washes over me like the glorious deep, resting in my heart like the warmth of a bird, with a song just as sweet. It both strengthens and weakens me. The love in my soul glows warmer than a flame, but it is gentle as a drifting cloud and unflinching as a mountain. The gift of friendship fills my senses. I breathe it in and soak in its aroma.
To you who took my hand, lifting me and steadying me. To you who taught me to love, and you who taught me to feel. To you who showed me what it means to withhold judgement. To you who made me better, stronger, happier, safer, wiser. Thank you.
"Take my hand. Hold on tight. We will stay on the path together..." Sister Rosemary M. Wixom.
