RW4: "We support and are supported"

I am very blessed to have truly wonderful friends.  This weekend highlighted a characteristic of our bonds that grants my heart much peace.  We are all at very different states, physically, emotionally, and in many other manners.  Despite this we manage to support one another, and allow each other to support ourselves in a very seamless manner.  I think this is one of the true beauties of deep friendships.  I wrote this poem this morning while reflecting on the topic.

"We support and are supported"

I have a friend,
When she holds hands in a group,
She prefers to both support another and be supported by another,
I think she's on to something;

One friend searches her soul in a moment of self doubt,
Two friends ready their hearts for their ever nearing wedding and beginning of their married life,
Another friend beams joy as she enters into a beautiful engagement,
Yet another calls to check in and get advice on birthday presents;

All support one another exactly where they are,
All are supported by one another exactly where they are,
My friend is on to something,
How lucky we are to be supported and to be able to support.
