Sunshine and Daisies

A Poem by Ashley Acri

If we are lucky, we meet one true friend in our lifetime.
I have been so incredibly blessed to have three.
To pookie, and Hilleybilly, and Paigero too
I have a message that I've written just for you:

Without your love, compassion, and presence
I do not know that I would be the woman I am today.
Sitting here typing these words out as you sit right round,
I think back to the night I could barely speak for heartbreak and we sat around as we are now.
Your consolations and love brought me through.
You said those dreaded words "I think you need help"
And you all held my hand as I took that leap.

And now here we are, a few months later.
We are closer than ever and you've become my sisters.
Pookie, you'll be missed next year but I have memories for a life time.
Hilleybilly I know that we butt heads more than we get along, but you've been by my side through the worst days of my life. And you'll never know how much that means to me.
Paigero I regret not being closer with you from day one, but now I genuinely don't know what I would do without you. (I can guarantee my social media would be a touch more normal).

You are my sunshines, my only sunshines.
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dears, how much I love you.

I can't wait to watch you all continue to shine for the rest of your days.
