Friendship

On the dock
Waiting for the next
Sea voyage

She never travels alone

She slipped from her mother's womb
Into the arms of a wise eyed grandmother

She tripped into her toddling childhood 
And the strong hands of an uncle steadied her

She skipped through adolescence
And her moral opposite egged her on while learning to share her values

She flipped for a man and 
Settled onto marriage with Love and the Lord's help

Now she waits for her newest adventure
And her company on this journey
Are faces she already loves.
