What sweet blessings we find in true friendship - <br />How comfortable to be able to converse with those <br />Of same mind and same sentiment - <br />Like gazing into the mirror and finding yourself; <br />How fortunate to cross paths with kindred spirits <br />Traveling along the same road in search of truth <br />And finding that their truths are the same as yours; . <br />What joy to find that diversity is a part of sameness, <br />And that even though their thoughts may differ, <br />They remain constant and unwavering inside. <br />How wonderful to know that you can reach out <br />And find another hand to hold when you need strength, <br />Comfort, understanding and love <br />And that finding truth through anothers' eyes <br />Enhances your own in ways you never knew; <br />These are the true friends that come as gifts <br />To enrich our lives in countless ways.............. <br />Such sweet blessings.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-blessings/
