The ones who show up at the drop of a hat,
Even when their own hearts might feel heavy and flat.
The ones who don’t push, but walk by your side,
Who honour your pace, let your spirit decide.
Who cherish your friendship and hold it close,
Like a quiet strength, no need to boast.
Because they too understand this journey we face,
And know this wild, winding thing we call life is not a race.
The ones who sense your storms before you speak,
And offer a wave of calm when your soul feels weak.
The ones who celebrate your wins out loud,
Who reminds you of the successes that once made you proud.
Who hold your hand through grief and doubt,
And never let your light flicker out.
Because friendship like this is rare and true,
And you deserve to be surrounded by women who get you.
To those who have loved me through silence and storm,
Who’ve kept my heart safe, held space, kept me warm
Thank you for being my shelter, my light,
For colouring my world when it faded to white.
Thank you for your laughter, your wisdom, your unwavering grace,
And thank you for showing up fully and holding your place.
You are the reason I rise and renew
So, thanks once again
For simply being you…
Love Tracey
