~ Always There ~

It seems
no matter what I am life-busy with in my day,
or need answers to a question,
or help,
or in need of something ...

my dearest, closest friends
are always there to help me and come to my rescue.
My life is so richly blessed because of this.
Saying "thank you" seems microscopic, compared to the
gratitude encompassing my being.

It happened like this today -
a question was promptly answered to something I needed right-quick,
with my text reply back saying "Thank you so much -
You are always there."

As I finished the last letter and sent that sincere message of
deepest gratitude
on its way - the thought struck me soul-deep.

"Am I always there
for someone - those sweet friends of mine -
my family - a stranger,
whenever, at the drop of a hat
as I have been so dearly blessed with in my life?"

I hope to be somewhat equal in quality, value and measurement
as my dear ones have been to me.
To always be there - no matter what I am doing in my day.
That I may stop - and be there ... really be there.

Always be there.

With my complete heart and soul.
