Being Held Just Because

Do you remeber that person who could hold you just because
you asked to be held? Do you remember that person who didn't
ask why but just knew you were sad or having a bad day?
Or do you remember that person who laughed because you
 had a tear in your eye or were downright crying? Do you
remember that person who could not confront their own
bad judgement and called you 'stupid' in the course of a
conversation? Do you remember the person who wanted to
get you on their side told you lies they thought would endear
you to them? Do you remember the person who shared to just
share and never put up a false front?
Between them all I prefer the person you ask to hold you
and they do because they care. I prefer the person who to
this day loves to share life's daily ups and downs.

The Voice

Not the tv show but 'The Voice' that calls you on the phone or
the voice you wait to hear when you call that person.
Yes we all have that someone that brings a lift to the everyday
drama that encircles our life. The voice on the other end who
knows our heart. who knows our laugh and who shares the joys
and sorrows without judgement but with empathy.
Sometimes there are weeks, months or years between conversations
but you pick up where you left off.
To know that the voice you long to hear can make your life more
easily lived is a true blessing.
I heard that voice recently and still smile throughout my day.
