I have a friend A Soul so pure Guiding a young heart beyond its age Gently shaping its purpose in a gathering mist of expectations Painting it with life's exquisite colours of pain and laughter Cradling and shielding its every beat in a struggle with trust and love Raw beauty concealed by her smiling eyes A Soul so pure Eagerly grasping in the mist for meaning and belonging Let down her shield, stretched out a cautious trusting hand On a journey, a tight-rope of choices, doubts and shared longings To a tender cheerful heart pumping angelic tears of joys and fears Raw beauty revealed in her trusting eyes A Soul so pure Soaking up the warm and cherished reflections of mutual trust Softened its grip, freed the nervous words and silences in her heart Unravelling twisted expectations, celebrating effortless expression and emotion Souls relating, sprinkling the various faces of life with seeds of hope and reason Raw beauty comforted by its reflection in loving eyes A Soul so pure Blessed by a divine miracle, a new life stirs within Assembling immaculately a tiny echo of her essence and raw beauty Emitting a warm glow, lifting the mist, rejoicing each step toward a bright horizon Cradling an unborn infant soul, painting it with unconditional love and trust Raw beauty radiating from her loving eyes
Reason for writing:
To friend I wish I could offer so much more than gifts and words.
