The Friendship of the Chronically Ill (A Poem)

It's like magic.
I overturned a stone and there you were
Vibrant and beautiful
Despite being a damaged specimen
Like myself.
I blended my roots with yours
We became entwined
Into something greater than ourselves alone.
A friendship in the most dire circumstances bloomed
and we became stronger together.
We both require extra special care
But that just makes us a rare form
Special and delicate, 
But worth the effort.
Separated by necessity, not by choice.
Together in spirits,
Two minds aligned
A love forever
Until our end of time.

Felt like the blog needed a poem today.  Hope you all enjoy!

I had to send this on to my sister. So true--as if spoken from my heart to hers.
