“True friendships are like streetlights along the road, they don’t make the distance any shorter, but they light up the path and make the walk worthwhile.” —Unknown
Friendship.
What is a friend I hear you say?
Someone who stands by you come what may.
They do not judge or lay down the law.
But encouragement they often implore.
When we are down and at low ebb.
A friend will make us laugh with words they’ve said.
Keeping us firm upon our path.
Helping to lighten us with their laughs.
Many a time when I’ve been in doubt.
My world in turmoil, I hear them shout-
Words of upliftment, scolding my fears.
A shoulder to cry on, sharing my tears.
True friendship is talking for hours on end.
About every thing and nothing, just wishing to blend.
Even when it hurts they are truthful and honest.
This is the value of a friendships promise.
Keeping a secret with only you that they share.
Knowing when to keep silent and stay out of your hair.
To find all the above in one I am blessed.
I thank you my friend you are truly the best.

This week has been a sad week, as on Sunday our little community of neighbours mourned the unexpected passing of our good neighbour and a personal friend.
Margaret and I would share books and garden magazines, along with chats over a cuppa, as we swapped seeds, and gave each other gardening tips on planting and growing. We had been neighbours since 1984.
Friends are precious, and true friends are often rare, so, I thank those friends in my life, who are both near and far. Whether our hugs are in person or virtual, they are felt. Sometimes a friend also knows when to hold that silent space as we allow that grieving process to unfold. You all know who you are… Thank you. 💜
