Christie

Today I thank God for a friend
A friend who has always stood by me unflinchingly
Whose dreams for me has encouraged me on
Who zealously guards my time
Who thinks I can be more than I think of myself
Who corrects me gently, nudges me on
Whose insight and wisdom I always seek
Whose gentleness I can always lean on
Whose courage inspires me
Whose trust guards me
Whose empathy comforts me
Whose heart holds my deepest shame and secrets
Who has given more than I could ask
Who seeks me out in the crowd
Who sees the best in me
Who makes me feel beautiful.

I wonder what I have done to deserve her
I am sometimes afraid she might just go away
But she has been like the air-always around
Her purity, her devotion to God and her sweetness
Are rarities in this crooked world....
So when I count the handful of good people I know
She's among them...
God's own giant, my friend, my sister, my confidante
My Christie!
