The Balm

I have not truly known it.

But I am knowing it.

Friendship,

To be a balm

to the wounded.

Friendship,

to be water

to the thirsty.

Friendship,

to be honey

to the bitter.

Friendship,

to be life

to the dead.

Friendship,

to be an armour.

Friendship,

to be a covering.

Friendship,

to be a pillar.

To be meaning.

Hope.

These walls that we have built

and words that have stayed

caged in our shattered hearts,

may just need the prison break

of Friendship.

"To have and to hold

from this day forward

for better, for worse,

for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

until death do us part."

Because Friendship

is a vow to love

because Friendship is love

and love, healing.

Healing that births wholeness,

wholeness found in God.

So dare I say,

that Friendship

is one of God's many ways

of birthing wholeness in us.

Seeing us,

and feeding You with true love.

Love that is a healing balm.

Through Friendship. True Friendship.

So even though I have not fully known it.

I am now knowing it.

Friendship,

To be a balm.
