Of Friendship

Friendship is 

a beautiful warm loaf of bread

baked faithfully with kindness

and lavishly spread

with the honey butter of love.

Andrea, congrats on your placement in my contest. I greatly enjoyed your metaphor of friendship. I am certain friendship is also in the sharing of such a wonderful loaf of bread. If your friends are sharing such wonderful spreads than I am sure they are doubly blessed!
