Friends Always

She sent me a feather From her gossamer wings Knowing I needed comfort Belief and her support As always My heart skipped a beat As I picked up the feather And held it soft in my hand As I will hold the memory of her With me, always Such a gentle feather Like the gentlest of smiles That adorned her pretty face I'll smile with you, and For you, always I imagine the feather Dipped in paint of purest blue Bringing life to a blank canvas At the touch of her hand An artist, always A pure white downy feather From the breast of a bird Flying free in the sky The wonder of nature loved by her And by me, always This feather brings these words A tribute to her faith In me and in my poetry Amanda, my inspiration Always
