Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
(My Beloved Libithina)
Fairies, flowers, birds, and balloons
Those are images that come to mind
Dear Libithina, when I think of you…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
A dear, kind person, and non-judgmental
Those are feelings that surface in me
The love that you give is unconditional…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
Always Encouraging, Forever enduring,
These are words that describe my Libithina
And so much more - endearing and inspiring…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
Since we met, it has been around a year
On this the Anniversary of our friendship
I remember how your kind words brought a tear…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
We both had lost our mothers so young
That was our first common perpetual bond
Melting my heart with it’s armor so strong…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
An untimely death both our mothers’ had
Yet, we grew in wisdom and saw beauty
For both of our tales were brave but sad…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
There are so many reasons I love thee
Far too numerous to ever attempt to count
Among many of a number infinity…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
Intelligent, giving and beautiful one
Like the Triple Faced Goddess
You shine as the Moon and the Sun…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
Like the unseen Triune One
You are Always lovingly there
With a faith that is never undone…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
You reach out in compassion to others
Despite your own trials and hardships
You care for your sisters and brothers…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
We are separated by the vast ocean
But we reach in friendship to the other
Across the sea with ‘waves of love’ we send...
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
Our friendship it will never end
It Is a bridge, to My soul sister
For she is my Spiritual forever friend…
My Flower Fairy-Tale Friend
May we ever frolic for all eternity
On The white sands of warm beaches
Always playing there, my Libby and me
My Flower Fairy-tale friend
