The Fae Friendship Dream Boat

Come sail along with the fae and me
On the bonnie treasure ship and sea...
Of wandering dreams and starry eyes
Filled with hopes and wishes that comprise
Our friendship...

Sail the thoughts of better times
Past or future, differing climes,
Our dreams will carry us there again
As together we're the best that's ever been
In friendship.

Double Joy

Double Joy

In your eyes I see projected fierceness,

I see fire, and I see pain.

Behind that I see a little girl afraid and full of shame.

Who could have hurt you so deeply to leave such nasty wounds?

   My heart cries out to you—

   I’ve been there, too.

   I’ve known trauma, terror, and shame.

But I’ve also learned that in sharing another’s sorrows

Out of friendship and with true heart

Halves the pain and begins the circle of healing.

   So, may I come alongside you

   As a friend and a trusted sister,

   As one wounded, too?

One day we’ll share great joy,

And I’ve found shared joy doubles the joy.

So, for the joy set before us,

May we walk the sacred path together.

I Come to You in Friendship

I Come to You in Friendship

I open my hand to you

With helpfulness and sharing it lends.

I open my heart to you

With love each word it sends.

I open my mind to you

With appreciation it comprehends.

I open my arms to you

With compassionate hugs it mends.

I open my ears to you

With deep caring always bends.

I open myself to you

With hopes that we’ll be friends.
