Lord thank you for the friend
The friend I can see at my worst and at my best
The friend I can sit across the table from over a cup of coffee and be falling apart inside but look at her and know I am loved
The friend I can say things I wouldn’t say to anyone else and not be judged
The friend with whom all the unspoken words are ok, because she knows the weight of it all without a word having to be spoken
The friend that will listen to the words you are ready to say and not blame you for what you just can’t bear to
The friend you can look at with tears or laughter or both
The friend who never lets you get so far lost that there’s no way back
The friend who helps me keep it all together for the kids
The friend who I know is there and is on my side
Lord thank you for the friend each woman should have
The friend that only you could have provided way before I even knew I needed it
Atypically Joyful
