A few people in this life are blessed with friends who help them through the rough spots in their life and laugh when them when things are going well. For me, I found those friends in Women With A Unique Soul, a group that my late friend, Claudia, and I founded to make sure that every woman who needs a place to call home has a place to go where she is always accepted and her voice is always heard. I am proud that we have members from all over the world and we have all bonded together as "Sisters By Choice." This is my dedication to the ladies who share so much of my life.

Your Gift To Me

I carry so many burdens each day,

That laboring seems like all I can do.

I'm so tired and weary by the evening,

That I don't have enough time with you.

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it,

The road always seems to lead uphill.

I dream about leaving the chaos behind,

But I stay and I know that I always will.

The gift of friendship that you give me,

Helps to make my load much lighter.

You show me that the road gets shorter,

Help me find the strength to be a fighter.

Suddenly, the problems in my life,

Don't really seem to add up to much.

You pull me through the hard times,

With your kind and gentle touch.

Thank you for always being here for me,

For brushing away tears and lifting my mood.

I have come to need your friendship,

As much as this tired old body needs food.

You calm my fears and make me smile,

You never let me wallow in my tears.

I couldn't make it without you, my friends,

Walking beside of me through the years.

With all of my love,

Friends At WWAUS

We are ladies gathered together,

Bringing laughter when spirits are low.

We welcome new friendships,

We feel sad when older friends go.

We all offer our shoulders willingly,

When life has made someone cry.

We all want to learn and grow together,

Sharing ideas that others might want to try.

We are friends in every sense of the word,

Extensions of our own hearts and minds.

You could search the world over but I guarantee,

A better group of ladies you will never find!
