"Negativity is contagious. Unhappiness is contagious. Fear is contagious. But so is happiness. So is optimism. So is love. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, and strive to be a reflection of the energy that you hope to receive." - Michell C Clark

A Sam Scott poem:

Listen to poem:

We monthly meet To pray and eat Once children, small Now several feet Some rich, some poor It matters not Irrelevance of What we've got In worldly stuff Our wealth not mired My comrade content Is love inspired At table share Our lives in full Our seasons vibrant Sometimes just dull To glasses raise These humans dear My heart is full So glad you're here As life unfolds Both up and down This friendship king Has earned it's crown

Reading your poem brought back fond memories of times spent with pals from my youth. Just like you, I feel blessed to have shared a little bit of my life with them. I thought the quote and poem were great from start to finish. Blessings Sam

I think the older we get, Sotto, the more precious memories and friends become.. especially when we have journeyed through life so far and shared so much of ourselves. Blessings to you my friend - and thank you :)

What a delightful poem Sam and I love your narration too. You read so well. The title conveys the poem so aptly. ‘ My comrade content’ ‘ Is love inspired’ - wonderful lines and especially the last two as well. How rich and blessed are those who have true friends to share the ups and downs of life. So enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing :):) x

your poem reminded me of some of my childhood friends and our experiences. My heart, like yours, is full for having shared some of life with them. Loved the quote at the beginning....well said and true. Have a splendid evening, Sara

I like that Sara, 'sharing life' - one of the most unique qualities of our humanity. Thank you as always for sharing your thoughts ;))

Negativity is contagious i agree with that quote, especially paranoia too hah. We must always be careful with who we let in to our circle as friends. I think here you are talking about your childhood mates. I dont really have childhood friends. Infact I have seasonal friends. Lucky are the ones that get to have such precious ones around to make an effort to give time atleast once a month or year despite busy lives. Love the last lines and rhymes.Pleasure reading you sam. Sending you light always

I think the test of a great friendship is longevity and that thing where you can pick up where you both left off without skipping a beat. I love the idea of seasonal friends too. Thank you Inky friend :))
