My shredded soul was sliding away
You led me to spiritual wholeness
You lifted me up, and forward to dignity
From worthlessness I was made to believe
You truly cared and named me friend.

A beautiful piece of faith and devotion:)

Thank you.

Hermoso poema convertido en homenaje. Hay quienes dicen que los amigos son la familia que uno escoge. En tu caso, esto parece ser verdad. Rescato como líneas que me impresionaron, las siguientes:

You showed me I could stand alone
Unveiled the depths of my own strength
To face the world, and stand proud

Refreshing poetry, @momzillanc. I congratulate your creative art.

I ran your comment through my translator; this was the result:

Beautiful poem turned into a tribute. There are those who say that friends are the family that one chooses. In your case, this seems to be true. I rescue as lines that impressed me, the following:

Thank you very much. That is precisely what the poem is about… the person who made me her friend and became the sister of my heart, and what that has meant to me.

Sorry. @momzillanc I get excited with your poems and, despite translating the comment, I do not notice that I am taking the Spanish version to the answer. Thanks for taking the translation work, I'll be more careful next time.

No problem. It’s not an onerous task. As long as it’s not too long or filled with colloquialisms, my online translator does a decent job.

I am also so thankful for loved ones who bring me back when I start to dematerialize <3 It sounds like you were in a very lost space, and I'm happy that you found your anchor and love again :)

Thank you. I was in a very dark and miserable place when the person the poem speaks of came into my life. She became the sister of my heart and helped me find myself in the person whom my husband came to love.
