Connecting These Two Friends

Many people do really make good friends
but they've different traits that attract the other
so one responds to one and indeed vice versa
then it works in unison so to go on further

When one is wise people stand in awe
pointing to that one seems to know it all
but real true wisdom creates in the heart
a sense of gratitude to stand and stall

What a beautiful twosome they do make
wisdom marked with gratitude simply divine
the wise reveal within the inner heart
seeking to find a gratefulness to shine

So the wonder of connecting these two
like an electric light when you switch
to the on position the dark is gone
light comes to rescue you from the ditch

Try and live full of these two
for it's wise to be truly grateful
as well as being grateful is wise 
this being instilled shows one graceful

(Some thoughts on connecting two friends of gratitude and wisdom.)
