My Friend

written by Dinah M. Craik (1866)
sent to me by my friend Mary Quite


...Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible
comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out,
just as they are
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand will
take and sift them,
keeping what is worth keeping
and then
with a breath of kindness,
blow the rest away . . .

AND another award from Tery who has a wonderful blog on writing ideas- check it out. I think the award combines Best Friends, Lemonade and Sisterhood award. I'm suppose to award to it to ten other bloggers but I'd like to give all you blogging friends out there this award. Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog, even if you don't comment. You are my Internet friend.
