Friendship
Оh, 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.
DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK.
