It helps me to have that kind of friend
Who can sit beside me and say
"Remember when..."
Together we can journey back
She reminds me of how far I have come
How many obstacles I have hurdled
How many brick walls I have faced
And how no matter what I stood up
Strong, and brave, putting one foot in front of the other
She shows me myself
In a way I sometimes struggle to see
Reminding me how much I have opened up
Showing the world what lies deep within me
Even laying out the vulnerable pieces
To be examined
To be healed
Revealing these pieces of myself have helped others to heal
And move forward on their own journeys
My words have brought forth inspiration
The look in my eyes has calmed worried and tired souls
My ability to sit and listen, and just be present with someone
Has brought strength to those who felt they could not go on
There are moments when I forget
How far I have come
I become to engulfed in the problems
That I am creating in my own mind
Not living in the present
Or appreciating where I am today
This friend brings me back
Opening my eyes up
Allowing me to see myself, as myself
It is a gift to have this type of friendship
To share together
Laugh together
And to bring each other back when we are lost
I am so very grateful
