Day 151

I am grateful for this poem.

I memorized it as a college student when I fell in love with how it described my most meaningful friendships. It's by Dinah Maria Mullock Craik.

O, the comfort!
The inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words
but pouring them all right out ,
chaff and grain together,
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and with the breath of kindness
blow the rest away.

Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful, perfect poem.
