Love Is a Bond

I met my friend Jack in the schoolyard- I was Ojibwe, he was Cree and we were lonely; And from big bullies he became my bodyguard; He told me things looking at me hard; Whispering to me about our culture- words for me only; Both our souls and hearts were deeply scarred. And there was a love that has lasted time; We walked hand in hand in parks, the woods and churchyard; He taught me First Nation teachings so sublime; Now, I visit my friend in a graveyard- A bond of love only. ________________________ March 29, 2017 Rhyme/Love Is A Bond Copyright Protected, ID 888278 Opposite Gender Love Expression Frank Herrera Second Place
