On Friends and Friendships
On Friends and Friendship
these are not simple things.
You may think they are, but they are not.
They are not happenstance,
planned or by convenience or choice.
Their existence lies in the universe
destined long before their time
awaiting birth, growth and individual nurturing.
An undisputed bond of two, sometimes three or more
that lasts through joy and laughter,
pain and sorrow, tears and heartache,
good times and bad.
They and it may disappear from time to time
but often resurfaces when least expected
but when needed and welcomed most.
Friends and friendship
guide and direct us on our way,
paving the journey through life
with comfort and support
when we lose everything else.
We are not solitary creatures.
By nature, mankind is not meant to be alone.
God created a companion, even in the very beginning.
As selfless and independent as we hope to be,
we selfishly want for ourselves, a partnership.
sharing of our thoughts and aspirations;
bonding of our hopes and dreams;
another voice to point us
in the right direction
along the path of life.
Thank you, then
friends, companions, lovers and guides
for helping me
to find my way and my path.
