Loving Friends
For those who have touched
my life in heart and soul,
I have been rewarded
in numerous ways.
I remember these dear friends
with a heartfelt love
and deep appreciation.
How blessed to be connected
to the souls of caring
people…
my path has not been easy.
But for those God sends my
way,
life is made a little easier.
These are not just friends,
they are special people
who include me as part
of their family circle.
