Friendship Circle

I thank you dear friend,
For all you were, are and have yet to be.
I thank you dear friend,
For crying with me.... and laughing too.
I thank you dear friend,
For creating space for me to be,
to live, to learn, to explore;
That's so important to me.

Dear friend, you have given to me, and received;
you see me exactly as I am reflected to you.
I hope, dear friend, that we get to know each other better.
The light and the shadows that dance in our hearts.

I'll try, dear friend, to love you deeply, listen back,
and have that same compassion towards you.
I know, dear friend, that you are doing the best you can,
in every moment of every time.

I am able, dear friend, to be available, vulnerable,
open.
To see, to be seen, dear friend...
....as I see me.
