Strength in numbers

         Because we need each other 

Encouragement is
her trait
And that’s not all 
Curiosity, courage 
and kindness too
Who wouldn’t want
to be like you

Another friend
Inspires like no other
She believes—
Strength in numbers
Uplifting folks
to be the best 
they can be 
Service to humanity 
 
Need a hand
This friend is grand 
No explanation needed
She’s at the door
ready to help and 
see you soar

I’m grateful for these
traits I see 
and blessed 
to have friends 
who nurture me

The poem above was inspired by last Friday’s write together prompt—Make a list of friends who nurture you— (not enable you— there is a big difference between being helped and being treated as though we are helpless.)

Which of their traits serve you well? 

Thank you for being here,

Julie
