The Fairest of Them All

My dear friend,

I do not talk about you

Too often,

But you are on my mind

Everyday,

Especially before I sleep

And when I wake.

I was skeptical at first,

When I saw you,

Unsure of who else had been around you.

But

Since then,

You have always had my back.

In fact, you are

Always there for me,

Many times a day.

Whenever I need to let things go

You sit with me

And never rush me,

No,

Not you,

My loyal companion.

You stay with me,

Sitting quietly,

Waiting,

Your silent comfort

Allowing for release and relief.

And I am able to

Unload all I've held within me

To you;

I could do it to no one else.

We could all use someone like you.

You pass no judgement,

Even when others need you,

You never discriminate

Against age, race, size, religion.

You are an example of purity.

Maybe more of us should try to be like you;

Accept all and be there

When they need to release.

And with your own tears

You wash away the bad for me,

Yet you don't boast,

You don't gloat,

And never complain.

You are still in your greatness.

With your fine porcelain skin,

My dear toilet,

There is no one else

I want to fall back on.
