As
each year passes, we add new friends to our circle of sisterhood...
We walk with
each other through our journeys. We share laughter and joy as well as tears and
hardships.
A
foundation is built to withstand the storms.
Our
friendships are a bond of steadfast trust and honesty. There’s an unspoken, nonjudgmental
safety of encouragement and caring support. The candor and genuine love glows
from within. We can be vulnerable and therefore brave. This is sacred to me.
I
wrote this poem to honor the sisterhood of friendships that have graced my life.
Sisterhood
A
sacred circle of
Women
joyfully gather to
Exchange
and transcend
Share
and respect
Centuries
of divine feminine wisdom
Imparted
A
synergy formed
The
gift of trust
Created
and cherished
Linked
with fluid steps
Sustained
in an exquisite vessel
The
love is felt and exchanged
A
tenacious tapestry
Infinite
Resilient
Courageous
Our
hearts tenderly held
in
sisterhood of love.

ReplyDeleteThis reflection beautifully captures the heart of genuine friendship and faith. The By His Grace Sisterhood in UK truly embodies this spirit — women walking together in love, prayer, and encouragement through every season of life.
