Last Line: Blow the rest away.
Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria
Subject(s): Friendship


OH, 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 -- just as they are --
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.
