.......... I gotta friend .........

sometimes it is just knowing
that there is someone in your corner
that has been there before
with gentle smiles
hugs and laughter,
full of love
unconditional,

a friend
just because ...

knowing that this person is there
can make the difference
the difference in getting out of bed
of taking the 17 pills each morning
and the 5 to 9 each night ...

this person is different than a lover,
a sibling,
a bff in the big girl league ...

this is someone who has been where I have been,
seen the sights that I have seen,
walked the tight rope,
balanced on flip floppies so brightly hued
loved her boys ...
and has seen the sun rise yet again ...

and yet still
takes the time
to love a friend
unconditionally ...

I am blessed ........... love ya KateyB
